And they have friends!Luckily, I have a few shortcuts in my pantry to keep these guys from chewing up my couches. Enter VELVEETA & RO*TEL, stage left. I always have both of these in my pantry. Why? VELVEETA & RO*TEL are the only two ingredients in the classic game day Famous Queso Dip and I am Queen of the Queso. While there are many variations on the theme, my version brings a little extra party power with a heaping helping of pulled pork! Queso and pulled pork? BIG WIN! I have a little extra step that I take that is completely optional… I blend my RO*TEL Classic before I add it to the VELVEETA cubes in my saucepan and before melting it all together. This ensures a silky smooth Queso as the starting point. Yes, this COULD be the end point. You could put that in a bowl and plunk it down on the buffet table with a bag of chips and have some very happy people… but you all know I’m not good at leaving well enough alone. This is where the pulled pork gets stirred into the pot and heated through.
If you’re wise, you’ll jump back before you put the big bowl of Pulled Pork Queso on the table. If you were really on top of things, you will have kept a little bowl back for yourself before you did that. Now, while they’re crowded around the table, you can take your little bowl of Pulled Pork Queso and take the best seat on the couch. SCORE!

Haha! I have one teenage son and the amount he and his friends eat boggles my mind (even girls!). This looks like the perfect recipe.

The Steelers aren’t doing so great this year, but it doesn’t keep us from watching the games withs bowls of pulled pork chili and blue corn chips on the side. (Although Mr. H.C. did turn the game off in disgust during one early game! We ate our chili on the back porch and watched the stars come out. Much nicer in my opinion!!!)
Lis says
I love rotel dip more than is good for me, but I never thought of adding pulled pork!

Mmmm, parmesan chicken wings are my fave. I root for Notre Dame, because my daughter would shoot me if I didn’t!
allison says
Go Broncos! Please pass the hot wings.
Pamela says
I love anything remotely taco-y in nature. If it has salt, spice and a crunch, I am all in! And as far as football goes, I root for no one. I just.don’t.care.about football.
Carrie says
I love queso – my favorite is to make it with the blanco Velveeta.
Emily R. says
Sausage balls are my favorite. We’re not pro sports people, but we’ll be cheering on my alma mater, Michigan State!
