Notes
Cowboy Cheese is best served warm. Scoop it out in bowls and serve with tortilla chips for dipping. Consider adding fresh veggies or jalapeños on the side for extra crunch and flavor. Leftover Cowboy Cheese should be cooled before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. It can also be frozen and reheated on the stove or microwave.
