The Famous Queso Dip Recipe


At our house, we are always looking for a reason to celebrate, and football season brings with it plenty of good excuses to have people over. In Texas, it is almost a given that you will have Queso at your football party, or any party for that matter!  It is a statewide obsession!  If you have never had the creamy, zesty dip, you should plan to make a batch for your next get-together.



The Famous Queso recipe is delicious and couldn't be easier to make!  You just need a 10oz can of RO*TEL diced tomatoes and green chilies, 16oz of creamy VELVEETA, and 5 minutes with the microwave.


You can make your Queso simple and delicious with the basic two-ingredient combination or you can spice it up by adding ingredients like chorizo or black beans.  Want to make your Queso party a huge hit? Have a Queso bar! Let your guest choose what to add to their Queso by having a selection of beans, peppers, diced chicken, avocado (and any other ingredient you think might taste good in Queso) available for them to build their own customized Queso combination. The possibilities are endless because Queso goes with just about anything!

Not everyone loves to sit through an entire game of football, but when you bring out the game day snacks like Queso and chips, everyone comes together, even the five-year-old girls!  


VELVEETA and RO*TEL are a winning combination on game day and right now they want to give you even more opportunities to win, even if your team doesn't!  The VELVEETA and RO*TEL Quesobago, loaded with Famous Queso Dip, is making a cross-country tour to college football’s hottest rivalries.   You can visit www.quesoforall.com to find the Quesobago tour schedule and for a chance to win a party featuring the Quesobago on football’s biggest game day.  While you are there, check out all of the other great Queso recipes!


You can also win a $100 Visa gift card here on my blog!  Leave a comment letting me know what makes Queso the perfect party dip and you will be entered to win!
