We loved this recipe. I halved it since there were only 4 of us, but added the entire can of green chilies. The heat lover among us added Louisiana hot sauce to her portion, but to the rest of us it was perfect. What can I say Bea, it's La. I was asked to bring your dip to this weekends cookout, one hot and one not. You never fail me. Thank you for posting.
