Steps:
- Combine ingredients, do a taste test, if it needs more spice, add 1 teaspoons of the jalapeno juice or if you really like it hot, add 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper or more jalapenos.
- Flavor is better if allowed to set overnight or up to two days.
- Serve with corn chips.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are fresh, especially the chili peppers. Fresh peppers pack more flavor than dried or jarred ones.
- Do not overcrowd the baking dish. The dip should be spread in an even layer to ensure even cooking.
- If the dip is too thick, add a little more beef broth or water. If it is too thin, add more cheese or bread crumbs.
- Top the dip with shredded cheese and bake until melted and bubbly. This will create a delicious, golden-brown crust.
- Serve the dip with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables. You can also use it as a topping for tacos or burritos.
