BYRON'S FAMOUS KILLER CHEESE DIP

     HOT-CHEESE-DIP - A hot spicy party cheese dip

     Here it is, folks!  By popular demand, the cheese dip known
     to make women faint, strong men cry, and small children run
     for their mommies. This started out as an attempt to repli-
     cate a Chili con Queso dip, but took off in its own direc-
     tion.

INGREDIENTS (makes 18 oz of dip)
     11 oz     cheese soup (one can of condensed canned cheese
               soup).
     4 oz      chopped green chilies (I use Old El Paso canned
               chilies)
     1         medium yellow onion, chopped
     1 Tbsp    crushed red pepper
     2 Tbsp    chili powder
     1 Tbsp    cumin
     1         garlic clove, crushed.
     1/4 tsp   hot sauce (Tabasco sauce or hot pepper sauce)
     8 oz      sour cream

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Mix together all ingredients except the sour
               cream; heat to boiling at low heat.

          (2)  When blended, correct seasoning (usually needs
               more cumin and garlic.)

          (3)  Add sour cream and heat until it bubbles slightly.
               Serve with Tostitos or any natural Mexican-style
               corn chip.

NOTES
     This recipe may be doubled, quadruped or even sextupled
     without problem.  Go easy on the red pepper if your guests
     don't like hot food.  The effect, if done correctly, should
     be an initial impression of cheese, cumin, sour cream and
     garlic followed a second later by a sinus-cleaning heat.  As
     one partaker has put it "You have to keep eating because if
     you don't, you'll die."  Guaranteed to increase beer con-
     sumption at parties.

     Good Luck!

RATING
     Difficulty: very easy.  Time: 10 minutes.  Precision: Meas-
     ure the spices, just so you'll know how much you have put
     in.
