You left out one thing out on the chi chi con queso receipt, I used to work for them….garlic powder….it makes you more thirsty ….you drink more. Get the connection.

This recipe has way too much half and half. I only used a half pint and it was more than enough. Also, my husband worked for them too and said garlic powder was missing and he also felt that onions were missing so we added about 1/2 an onion chopped finely. It wasn’t quite what he remembered but it was close.
