Frequently Asked Questions:

            What type of Cheese is suggested?

I do recommend Cheddar cheese that has been shredded. However, you could use any type of cheese that you prefer. This could be a Mexican Blend, Monterey Jack or even Mozzarella. There is no wrong choice.

            Should I use canned chili?

The dish is easier to make, and much quicker, when you use canned Chili. However, you can use your own homemade Chili as long as it is not too runny.

            Should it be spicy or can it be mild?

The amount of spice you use or add to the Chili is up to you. Canned Chilis are usually quite mild, so if you like a kick to your chili, you will want to add jalapeno peppers, Chili powder or even Hot Sauce.

            How long will this dip last in the refrigerator?

The dip, as long as it is covered tightly, will last for 3 days in the refrigerator. However, you will not have it around that long.

            Can I freeze the dip?

I would not suggest doing so. The cream Cheese may separate and have a completely different texture when it thaws again.
