This is a fantastic dip for chips and also makes a wicked sauce for enchiladas! Serve this for your next get together, everyone will LOVE this I promise! Even better, you can use the Mexican blend of Velveeta cheese for this if desired. Use a good-quality mild cheddar cheese such a Cracker Barrel or Black Diamond brand. Adjust the hot sauce to taste. The dip will thicken as it cools, it is best served from a small crockpot to keep warm you could even cook the complete recipe in the crockpot! Since the store-bought canned chili has very little added ground beef, you could always add in more cooked ground beef is desired! Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package velveeta cheese, cubed |
1 (8 ounce) package mild cheddar cheese, cubed |
1 (7 ounce) can chunky salsa (mild or medium) |
1 (15 ounce) can chili (or use homemade with ground beef added) |

1 -2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional or to taste) |
louisiana hot sauce or tabasco sauce |
