Queso Dip – 31 Days of Slow Cooking (Day 4)

Last night, Hubby and I had to attend a get-together for a possible new pastor. We ate dinner with other members of the Call Committee and their spouses.

I was to bring appetizers or finger food. A veggie tray was my first thought. I bought some red pepper hummus and pumpkin hummus for dipping. Since people don’t always like hummus, I made some ranch dressing, also. So right before we get ready to leave, I can’t find my veggie tray. (I was packing the veggies in containers to assemble them there.)  We had to come up with a plan B. We ended up using one of my cake pans instead.

I also brought queso dip and tortilla chips. That was the real star. The host kept some of the dips while another took the remainder home. A third asked for the recipe. It is super easy to make!
