Back when I lived in Michigan there was a local Michigan based grocery store that sold the most amazing chili con queso dip. I kid you not, my husband and I were addicted to this dip and craved it often.
One day I meet a new co-worker who happened to work at that store part time in their cake decorating department. One of the first conversations I had with this new co-worker was about the chili con queso dip and how amazingly good it was.
I was then shocked when she told me that she knows how to make it and has made it before. She then shocked me again when she told me how to make it and that she could get me the recipe. She did warn me that the recipe calls for a packaged spice mix and makes a ton. I did not care I would figure something out.
When I received the recipe I immediately searched for the spice mix and found it on Amazon. Got to love Amazon. I also believe that some stores may carry it, I just have never seen it. Next I began working on cutting it down into a more manageable amount. After several different batches I finally had it right.
Now I can enjoy this dip when ever I want. Which is especially good since I no longer live near that grocery store.
