The Best Queso Recipe Ever

Blog· Food and Drinks

Chips and Queso – it doesn’t get much better than that. Am I right or am I right?

I can eat Mexican food every single meal or every single day and never get tired of it. My husband thinks I’m absolutely crazy, but I sometimes question if he is a Texas or not. Since he won’t allow us to eat Mexican food every single night of the week like I would prefer, I have to make myself things like queso and homemade salsa to hold me over til I can get my fix.

I cook all the time and it still surprises me the amount of cooking techniques and kitchen tricks that I don’t know. I think a lot of it is because I get so stuck making the same entrees for dinner that it’s hard for my brain to be open when it comes to thinking in the kitchen.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve craved queso but since I didn’t have a big ole slab of Velveeta cheese, I didn’t make any. Every single time I had shredded cheese but no velveeta so my mind told me, “nope, no queso tonight.” How silly is that? So I decided to made myself some queso with the mounds of shredded cheese I had in my refrigerator and OH MY GOSH, it was so good. I’m embarrassed that I’ve never made it this way. The Best Queso EverI poured approximately 2 cups of shredded cheese into a mixing bowl that was microwave safe and added a couple tablespoons of hot salsa. I microwaved the cheese in 30 second intervals. I’m not going to lie to you, when the cheese was in the melting process it didn’t look good. All I could think was “THIS IS WHY I NEVER MAKE QUESO” but the hotter the cheese got and once it was fully melted it went back to looking normal. I heated the cheese for approximately 3 minutes.

Once the cheese was completely melted, I added 1/2 pound of Johnsonville sausage and lots of Mezzetta jalapenos to give it an extra kick. The queso was absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to make it again for my game day party! Every homegating party has to have a large bowl of queso and I’m glad I found a recipe that is not only easy to make but that I can make with shredded cheese!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
