EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Cut cheese into same-sized chunks so they’ll melt evenly during cooking.

To cut down on some of the chopping, thaw 2 cups from a bag of frozen stir-fry bell pepper blend to use in place of the fresh version.

Multicolored tortilla chips lend a splash of Southwest color.

Made this for the first time for a potluck at work. I received rave reviews! It is definitely a keeper. I doubled the recipe but only added a total of 1 red and 1 green bell pepper, then used half of a jalepeno dip and half ranch dip and just whatever seasoned frozen and then thawed chicken strips I could find (used 22oz in the doubled recipe) - heated on low for an hour and a half, stirred, then at 3 hours, added the peppers and dips, turned on high for 30 min, then turned to warm when ready. Absolutely awesome!
