"This is adaptedfrom Allrecipes but I have made a couple minor amount adjustments to the recipe, original recipe called for 8 tablespoons butter, I don't feel the need for the extra 4 tablespoons so I have reduced it to 4 tablespoons and I added in some onion powder. jalapenos can be used instead of the green chilies I sometimes use both"
