Queso dip made with real cheese in less than 20 minutes!
The other day a friend of mine text and asked me for some “game day” recipes. Immediately I thought wings. But then I started thinking that I really don’t have many party recipes. Well, I kinda do. I’ll list the most popular ones down below.
I realized I was missing a bunch of the classic recipes. I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for years and never uploaded a queso recipe. Madness.
Most traditional queso dips include Velveeta, however, I decided to use cheddar and cream cheese instead. No regrets. The cumin and chili are mandatory here. Trust me. This recipe is perfect. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did and happy game day!
