Cooking Games and Queso

What’s not to love about queso? The hot, bubbling cheese may not be super healthy, but it’s definitely super delicious and it’s actually the sort of cooking game that is easy to play ony our own. Start with a block of processed cheese like Velveeta. Grab a can of spiced, diced tomatos and you have the basics of the dip. You’ll need a few more things to really make your dip special, but that’s where you get to be creative.

You can melt the cheese and tomatoes together to make a simple queso in the microwave. But you can get a bit more creative by including strained spinach in the deep along with cream cheese. The dip transforms into a creamy spinach dip – but with a bit of a bite, of course. Or take your queso the other direction and add ground or cooked meat to the cheese and tomatoes. Spicy sausage is a good fit for queso as is ground taco meat. Any sort of cooking game you play with queso is bound to come out delicious, of course.
