I love to make this dip for parties, because it is so easy and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. I double the recipe and prepare it in my slow cooker, because it will not scorch. This makes it completely worry-free when entertaining.-Marie Stout, APO, AP

Years ago, my husband invented this gooey cheese dip. I may be biased, but I have to say it's excellent. If you like heat, rev it up with finely chopped jalapenos. -Patricia Leinheiser, Albuquerque, New Mexico

QUICK VEGGIE CHILI CON QUESO

Continuing my quest to use what I already have instead of going to the store, I found this recipe in Better Homes and Gardens 1993 Best Recipes Yearbook. Abigail Kurtz Mahoney won $200 for her recipe. This is super simple and quick. I used 7 ounces instead of 4 ounces of green chilies, and I probably threw in about 1 cup of cilantro into the soup because I love the flavor. I also had 2 cups of onions but no zucchinis (rats). I tossed in 8 ounces of sour cream instead of serving it with individual bowls, and I skipped the cheese completely (not that I'm lacking in dairy here). The beans were very meaty, and next time I'll throw in some cayenne pepper or some hot peppers for more heat. I like how chunky everything is...a perfect recipe for a cold winter day.
