    Original Review (May 7, 2013)Sorry, this didn't work for us. The flavor was good (although we would up the "heat" factor) but the consistency was way too thick. It was hard to dip chips in it. I followed the recipe exactly (and it IS time consuming adding the cheese :) ) but I think 6 cups of cheese was too much. It just kept getting thicker and stringier. I thinned it with more milk as suggsested, but still too stiff. And it made more like 20 servings. I am going to use it in a mac 'n cheese to use up the rest.
    UPDATE (May 10, 2013): I added another star for flavor and because I took some of the dip, after refrigerating (it had the consistency of Velveeta) and put it in a bowl an microwaved it until it was soft. The consistency was perfect for dipping. I also used the rest of it in mac n cheese and it was quite good for that.

    Chile con Queso, The chipotle chiles in this will give a nice flavor that you will positively love! If you like a milder queso you can omit the chiles and still have a tasty dip :), I made this for a party I was hosting I had never used chipolte chiles before (I searched & searched for chipoltle chiles in a can, couldnt find them so bought the chipolte peppers–I guess there the same??)Anyways, the dip was very good, and people who enjoy spicy things really liked it I wish I would have know how spicy it was, I would have warned people several people said it was too spicy for them I LOVE spicy food, so thought it was great, will make again!Thanks for sharing , I didn’t have chipotles and I wish I had waited to make this until I did I thought the dip would be okay with just the chilies, but it just wasn’t spicy enough, although the dip itself was good I may make this again when I do have the chipotles as I feel this might get another star with the addition All in all, a very good dip, good consistency and good flavor and I’m sure I’ll be making this again

    Notes: You Can Vary Which Chiles You Use to Control How Hot You Want the Queso to Be. Also, If the Sauce Is Too Thick, Feel Free to Add a Bit More Milk a Tablespoon at a Time. the Key, However, to a Smooth Sauce Is Adding the Cheese Very Slowly and not Adding Any More Cheese Until the Previous Addition Is Completely Integrated Into the Sauce.
