Want a good cheese dip that’s spicy enough for you and one to impress your football-loving friends for your Super Bowl party? Well, we put ourselves to the test this year to create one to fit just that purpose. Linda wanted to make something along the lines of that all-too-familiar Velveeta + Rotel dice tomatoes & chiles mix that we have all tried at one point or another. We wanted to make this one without tomatoes, so we decided to use tomatillos as our main flavoring addition. Try this one on for size:

Spicy Tomatillo & Jalapeno cheese dip

16 oz. container of Velveeta
16 oz. jar of tomatillo salsa (we used one from Santa Fe Seasons)
1/4 jar of Mexican Confetti Peppers
1/4 tsp Vicious Viper Toxic Mix by Cajohns Fiery Foods

Gather all of your necessary ingredients, as well as a medium-sized bowl for your dip. We were shooting for simplicity over the gourmet amount of ingredients, we opted for the above four as our basic list.

Cut the Velveeta into several large pieces and combine all ingredients into a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes on high, then mix until well-blended.

Serve with chips. Makes about 4 cups of cheese dip. We consider the heat level to be Hot. For a spicier dip, use more of the Vicious Viper spice mix. Enjoy!
