Football season is here and The #SundaySupper Tastemakers are coming at ya this week with Easy Football Food Ideas, so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying game day. If you like the snacks more than the actual game on game day, then you might want to use your extra time to pin all of these great football snacks to enjoy something different each week. Scroll down past my Queso Blanco Dip for the whole list of easy football recipes. Thanks goes out to Coleen, The Redhead Baker, for all of her hard work in making this event possible.
Football food doesn't get much easier than my Queso Blanco Dip. You just toss everything in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute at time, stirring between heating, until the cheese is smooth and creamy. It takes about 5-6 minutes, stirring every minute. You don't want to skip the stirrings in between. If you blast this on high for several minutes, you are likely to end up with a rubbery mess of goo. That would be sad!
Recipe Prep Tips:
- Use good quality cheese from the deli. You might get funny looks when you ask for a 1 pound block of cheese, but it's all good. They can do it for you and some will even cube it for you! I love it when they do that!
- Serve this dip with lots of different dipping options. Tortilla chips are the obvious choice, but I love to serve this with a variety of raw veggies and even some bread pieces too.
- Warning: This recipe makes A LOT! Almost 4 cups!! We use it on everything from omelets to chicken wings. It is delicious and reheats well. It seems to get better with age, and you can even freeze it with good results. I like that!
- If you don't want to make 4 cups of cheese dip, you can easily cut this recipe in half or even make 1/4 of it. Just scale down the ingredients accordingly.

Well...We know what is for din din....and lunch...and appetizers...at your casa. eh? Looks good. Think you could use a monterey...or a queso fresco type cheese?
ReplyDeletehaha Yep! I think you could use any cheese and get a good flavor, but I feel like the American is going to give you the best texture and creaminess.
DeleteHi Marion, I like the idea of a white cheese dip! Thanks for sharing at Foodie Friends Friday Linky Party Cindy
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great party recipe! Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday! Please add our link back on your post. Thank you!

Growing up on queso sounds good to me!!
DeleteMy husband loves the white queso dip from Applebee's. Thanks to you, I can now make it at home for him! Glad I found you on Pinterest via @SITS.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
OOOH I don't think you'll want to eat this out again after making it at home!! It is so easy and sooooo goood! I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by and for the comment! I hope you have a wonderful week too! ~Marion
DeleteDo you drain the green chillies before you measure the amount?
ReplyDeleteI can be a bit a bit lazy, so I don't bother with draining the chiles ;o). Enjoy! ~Marion
DeleteLove queso dip! I had the same experience with the humongous portions restaurant recipes create when I made Parliament Bean Soup ... I should have known when they asked for 2 pounds of navy beans ... lol
ReplyDeleteFound you on Recipe Graze and will be making this queso! (smaller portions)
Thanks for stopping by Noel! I hope you like it! Even when I make a whole batch we always end up devouring it!! and it freezes well too! Have a super day! ~Marion
DeleteLove the wooden dip tray. Where can we buy it?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I wish I knew, but it was a gift a very long time ago. So many people have asked me about this tray! I did have one reader who found a similar one on Ebay, so maybe try that! Sorry I couldn't be of more help ~Marion
DeleteWhat brand of White American do you recommend? I keep hearing Land O Lakes, but I can't find it!
ReplyDeleteI go to the deli counter and ask for a block of white American. I get the store brand unless the land o lakes our boars head is on sale. I hope that helps! ~ Marion
DeleteThis looks great! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. I love cheese dip (maybe too much), and I'm happy yours doesn't have velveeta.
ReplyDeleteI'd be worried about anyone who doesn't love cheese dip just a little too much ;). Fake cheese is definitely not my thing - it's the real stuff all the way. I hope you like this recipe - it's super easy and a family fave for sure! Enjoy! ~Marion
DeleteQueso Blanco is one of my faves, but I have never made it at home - I'm changing that, ASAP!
ReplyDeleteI love a good Queso Blanco dip and this one sounds and looks FABULOUS!! OMG!
ReplyDeleteHappy Labor Day
ReplyDeleteLast time I tried to make queso blanco without velveeta, it completely seized up. You're making me want to try it again!
