Savory cheesy dip with a little kick

During my childhood, our family had a tradition of spending New Year's Eve at our grandparents' cabin, filled with family, delicious food, and games. The highlight of the evening for me every year was enjoying the queso dip and playing the game “nuts.” Here's my simple and delightful twist on the traditional recipe. Whether I'm dipping chips in it while it's hot or enjoying it cold on its own, this dip always hits the spot!
