Chili cheese

Chili cheese is a versatile and flavorful addition that can be used in a wide variety of dishes. You can make grilled sandwiches with chili cheese, serve it as a dip, or create small snacks for cocktails, such as these little chili cheese hearts with avocado and shrimp. You can drizzle it over fries and nachos, use it as a sauce in burgers, enchiladas, quesadillas, and burritos. It can also be used as a topping for a warm, breaded sandwich roll or as a flavoring in a lasagna.
