  1. I make something similar and it is really delish (yes, we HAVE made a meal of it … salsa is a veg, right?). Thanks for the suggestion of taco seasoning. Never thought of that and I’ll be adjusting my recipe. ❤️

  2. I’ve made this dip countless times and it is sooo good! My question is can I freeze part of it because it make so much?

  3. After this is made the initial time, Can you eat it cold out of the fridge, like with normal bean dip, or should it be reheated?

      1. Just made this and it is so easy but oh so good. I added some hatch chili 🌶️ to it for some extra kick. Yummy 😋

  4. Is this really spicy ?Cause I have some that like spicy and then there's some like me who love spicy but can't have it cause of acid reflux….If it is spicy is there a way of making it without all the spice ?

  5. I made this for the second time, today. The hubster loves it. nd, I remembered why I wanted the Pioneer Woman's 0" frying pan!!!

    1. cheddar cheese does not melt well at higher heat, it does well in the oven slow cooking, Cheddar cheese clumps and leaves bigger pieces not a creamier mixture.

  6. I made this all the time 25 yrs ago and lost the recipe moving. So glad to have it back. The only difference was I used grated cheese instead of velveta

  7. This sounds great, but I'm wondering if I could do it as a baked dip? I'm taking it to our Auburn tailgate tomorrow and I'm not sure if there will be a crock pot hookup. I made your cracked out spinach dip last weekend and it was a hit!!! What do you think about trying to make it a baked dip? Thanks!
