This recipe is amazing! This was my first time making a cheesecake and it turned out great! I did make one alteration, I used an oreo cookie crust instead of the animal crackers, we're a chocolate loving family. I just bought a pack of oreos and threw almost a row of them in the food processor to make 1 1/2 cups of oreo crumbs and kept the same amount of everything else for the crust. I also used special dark cocoa. Just delicious!! Thank you so much for this recipe! I look forward to making it again.

I was looking for something to use as a cheese dip with burritos. This was great! I had tried to buy the queso cheese in the store and melt it to make a cheese dip...needless to say it didn't work very well. The cheese stayed melted, even after it cooled and reheating it after it had been in the fridge worked fine. I didn't use the green chilies, though, instead I added about 1/4 cup of salsa and it was perfect for my family. I'm sure you could add a little more salsa for a more spicy cheese dip. This was a great recipe and will be one I will continue to use down the road.

My entire family enjoyed this dish, even the ones that aren't so crazy about pepperoni! I thought the pepperoni was a nice little twist to the traditional Lasagna recipe. The 1/4 CUP of dried basil kind of threw me off, because it sounded like a whole lot. I used a tomato basil sauce and I did add a little more sauce to the recipe than called for and then I just added 1/2 tsp of basil to the cheese mixture and it tasted great!
