Matt and I have a lot in common. A deep-rooted love for football is not one of them. He is really sweet to walk away from games and hang out with me on the weekends, but I know he could easily watch five games straight and be happy as a clam. What we DO have in common is QUESO. And I’ll eat queso in front of a football game any day, any time. Even if it means I have no idea how the game works. It’s time to share Matt’s super awesome, super creamy “y’all come” queso. We are Texan, after all, and a y’all<\/b> is in order.<\/p>\n

Fall Football Queso<\/b><\/span>
For the record, every time my husband [Matt] makes queso, it is good. However, he rarely repeats the same recipe…okay, he never repeats the same way twice. But this one was worth writing down. Here goes.<\/span><\/i><\/span>
1 pound ground pork<\/span><\/span>
Chipotle taco seasoning packet (1\/2 of one)<\/span><\/span>
2 t. Chipotle Tabasco (5 shakes)<\/span><\/span>
1\/2 t. granulated garlic<\/span><\/span>
Dash of cayenne pepper and black pepper<\/span><\/span>
1 pound loaf of lowfat Velveeta, cubed<\/span><\/span>
2 cans Original Rotel, drained<\/span><\/span>
1\/4 cup diced green onions<\/span><\/span>
1\/2 cup chopped cilantro\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Step one:\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
Brown the pork in a pan. Drain it and add the seasoning packet (1\/2), Tabasco, garlic, and 2 peppers. Cook on low-medium heat for a few more minutes, so the seasoning will be absorbed better.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Step two: Turn the Crock Pot (we used a 4-quart) onto High. Add the remaining ingredients, as well as the pork. Cover with lid and keep it on High until the cheese is completely melted. Stir every 20-30 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Step three: Once the cheese is melted, turn the heat down to Low and let simmer for 2 hours (or until you’re ready to serve). The longer you let it simmer, the better. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>Enjoy with chips, veggies, or any other favorite dippers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Happy football and eating!
