Once you have stirred the ingredients until they are thoroughly mixed, it is time to turn up the heat. Cover and cook on high.
Step 3: Cook the cheesy dip
This recipe takes about 1-1/2 to 2 hours to cook. You should also stir the mixture every 30 minutes or so. You will know the dip is ready when the cheese is melted and the dip is hot.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy with friends, family, co-workers, or by yourself!
Serve by placing the dip in a shallow open container or bowl. Place some chips next to it and you and your friends, family, and other guests are ready to party. Make sure to warn everyone that it is spicy, though, since not everyone likes spicy food.
