I have never heard those words (at least used like that)

But yes, we Texans put Ro-Tel (diced tomatoes and chilis) and Velveeta in a crock pot and dip corn chips (Tostitos, NOT Fritos) in it.  Its called Chili con Queso (which is Mexican for chilis with cheese). You can throw some ground beef in there if you want.  Throw some Guacamole and Salsa on the table and you have yourself a party.  Try it sometime.

Actually, the better cheese for this is the white processed cheese but I bet that is hard to find up north.  Regular Velveeta will work fine.

To be honest though, I am not a big fan but pretty much the entire rest of the southwest US is.

I have no idea what larupping is.  Is she an Aggie?

Not an Aggie. From Dallas. Maybe "larruping" (my spelling) is regional, or (more likely) she made it up and is putting me on. Thinks she's clever. But thanks for the recipe. Now I think about it, Rogaine is a hair restorer. Probably explains why the Ro-Tel I've been putting on my dome isn't working.

larruping adj  I do think it originated in Texas. Means extremely yummy. We had a restaurant in Arcata called "Larrupin's."

of Chili Con Queso ater grocery stores everywhere, in those little glass jars, usually next to the salsa in chips sections.

That reminds me, my favorite store brand salsa is On The Border.  And no, I don't shop at Sam's Club.  But I do buy avocados and I love Guacamole.

Sadly, too many tortilla chips give me heartburn.
