They put addictive chemicals in that cheese dip - dip

This is a variation on something they serve at a favorite local restaurant. It took a while to get it right, and one of the key things to remember is that you have to buy quality cheese - otherwise it doesn't melt right. I learned that the hard way. This actually makes quite a bit - but because of the addictive nature of the dip, it won't be enough for 15 people:)

Ingredients:
  • 32 oz of a quality pepper cheese (we like Hoffman's around these parts) cut in 1 inch cubes
  • 2 tbs flour
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely diced
  • 1/4 cup of pimentos chopped
  • 1 cup spinach chopped
  • 14 oz can of Mexican style diced tomatoes drained (green chilies are included - Red Gold is a good brand)
  • 1 1/4 cup milk
  • 2-3 tsp (or more!) cumin

Directions:

  • Melt all ingredients together in a double boiler. Stir often and taste. Add more cumin if you like more kick!
  • Serve warm with tortilla chips, cut up bagels or cut up soft pretzels

Yes, I can attest to it's addictiveness...
