You can make this party dip ahead of time and reheat it when you're ready to serve. Chipotle chile powder is spicy, so adjust the amount to suit your taste.

Very good dip.. tastes like chili basically. I used cheddar and kidney beans because it's what I had on hand. I also upped the spices. Will definitely make it again!

Everyone in our family loved this dip. It was even a hit with my husband who usually only likes really cheesy, Velvetta type dips. It had a really good flavor, we could not stop eating. I will be making this again for sure.
