Mine also came out really red. Huge peppers, so I multiplied the recipe times 1.5. Not so sure of it as a dip, but I used it to stuff poblanos and baked them for an hour. Lovely.

In reply to Kathy Hester. I'll try that next time. Since I had made the rojo sauce first I just left it in the blender & added the ingredients to make the queso.

In reply to Char. The peppers vary greatly in size. One thing to do is just add it to the queso until the color is where you want it. You can even serve some rojo on the side for more flavor without effecting the queso color.

Mine came out the color of brown gravy. It taste pretty good but not too crazy about the color. I used the Padilla chili peppers. What was the appropriate length & width of the peppers you used?

I like the idea of sweet potatoes but who can go wrong with an all-American Idaho potato! It sounds delicious!

In reply to Dawn Meisch. It's possible that your chilies were larger than mine. Maybe next time only add the rojo sauce until it's the color you want!

Thug Kitchen has a similar recipe but with butternut squash, which I always just substitute with sweet potato (simply because they’re easier/faster to cook and usually cheaper). I highly recommend trying sweet potato with your recipe! 🙂

Mine came out really red. Any idea what I did differently?

My mouth is watering! This looks incredible! I always love a great recipe that can contribute to my massive chips and dip addiction! 🙂

In reply to Ruth. It is 1/4 cup and I've corrected it in the recipe.
