Copycat Chili's Queso

Mr. DD is a Queso  Connoisseur.  Seriously, I think his blood type is Ro*Tel and Velveeta.  Not only does he think it's one of the four food groups, he thinks it is a condiment.  Salt, pepper, ketchup, and queso should be available at all times.  It gets a little redundant so I'm always on the lookout for queso variations to try out.  Everyone raves about the queso at Chili's so I thought I would give this one a try.  It's rich and hearty and I think you'll rave about it too!

Queso Connoisseur Approved!
I just love my Le Creuset Saucier Pan
It's pretty enough to serve from!
