• Add 1 tablespoon of Knorr chicken flavor bouillon to mixture. Stir Knorr to incorporate among the vegetables.

• Pour the easy queso dip into a serving bowl and enjoy with chips or veggies. Happy dipping!

I hope you enjoy this easy queso dip recipe as much as I do.  Tip:  If you or your guests are not a fan of spicy foods, remove the jalapeño seeds from the peppers before incorporating them into the recipe.   If you prefer a spicier queso, add more jalapeños or peppers with a higher heat intensity.
