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!

Queso is the perfect party dip because it’s so easy to make and you can add things if you want to change it up a bit. Denver Broncos.
Thanks for the contest.

Actually, I do not support nor participate in any competitive sports, so I can’t really answer this question completely. I hope my answer can still count! I will say that my favorite party food to make is my vegan crockpot chilli. Everyone loves it and it is super easy to make!

We also root for The Dallas Cowboys. For all the good it does us anyway.
My family loves Velveeta-Rotel-Sausage dip. And I always have to have guacamole dip too.

Queso made with Velveeta and Rotel is the perfect dip because it has a rich flavor with just the right amount of spice.
