Chili Con Queso Dip (American South)

A homemade queso that's rich, creamy, a little spicy and dangerously good.

1 lb pkg processed cheddar cheese
1 (16 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (4 oz) can green chiles, diced
2 tsp. Louisianna hot sauce

In a medium saucepot, slowly melt cheddar over medium/low heat. When cheese is fully melted add tomatoes, chiles, and hot sauce, stirring with spoon until combined well.

Pour cheese dip into a small casserole dish and serve as a dip for the cheesy empanadas or pour on top for a real cheesy effect.
