Slow Cooker Queso Dip
This Queso Dip is so simple and can be easily customized for your family.
If you want a little more heat, try substituting the chiles and jalapeño with Hatch Green Chile, or subbing out the cheddar jack with pepper jack cheese.

I promise this is going to be so much better than your average nacho cheese dip!

Can I double this recipe?

You absolutely can! Just place in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after every 30 seconds. Repeat until it is warm throughout and is a creamy consistency.
