Don't Make This

Sometimes you think something is going to taste really
good and it doesn’t.  That’s what happened this past
Wednesday.  My wife was out.  I thought I’d make
something for the kids that I’d been contemplating for
many months: Homemade queso with chips.  What could
be easier?

I bought some Velveeta cheese, thinking this would melt
easily.  The version for our two teenagers was going
to have bacon in it, and I was going to make mine 
separately because I like it spicy.  
 
So I fried up the bacon, melted the cheese and mixed it
together.  The problem is, Velveeta doesn’t work.  It
melted.  But then it solidified again and you couldn’t
dip the chips in it very well – too gooey. Plus, it
overwhelmed the bacon taste.  My
kids took a few dips, then ate their salads
and went to their rooms to study. Oh, well.

My version included onion, red pepper and a jalapeno
pepper, all minced up. I thought this would give is spice and bite. 
The same problem occurred with mine.  The Velveeta overwhelmed everything
else, and it was hard to even dig the chips into the mixture without them
breaking apart.

So, I guess you have to melt real cheese or read another
cookbook to figure out the best cheese to use as a base for queso. 
I will try this again.  Next time I’ll check in a cookbook first, then
I’ll throw in all the rest of the stuff.  I’ll let you know when I
give it a shot.
