So, let’s talk football. My family is obsessed. College football on Saturday, NFL on Sunday, Monday and even Thursday sometimes. High school football on Friday nights, fantasy football leagues everywhere I turn, and pick-up games of catch before and after Sunday dinner.
Now, I like football as much as the next person (ok, well maybe a *tiny* bit less), but I have to say that I get more excited about the football parties and the tailgating than I do the actual games. And right at the top of my favorite football food is the famous Queso dip. For something that’s so quick and so easy (just two ingredients!) it’s always a hit. I love it because it’s also a versatile recipe, just a couple ingredients more and you have an awesome Spinach Queso dip.
If you haven’t ever had Queso dip, it’s really that easy. Combine VELVEETA and RO*TEL (diced tomatoes and green chiles) and heat them in the microwave until the VELVEETA has melted. It takes just about five minutes. Easy.
Today, I added some cream cheese and frozen spinach, and it was a huge success. We like it with tortilla chips in our house, and sometimes put it in the crock pot to keep it warm during our parties. For a few lucky cities, the VELVEETA and RO*TEL Quesobago, loaded with Famous Queso Dip, is making a cross-country tour to college football’s hottest rivalries. Visit www.quesoforall.com for the tour schedule, and a chance to win a party of your own with the Quesobago! Queso for everyone!
Even if football isn’t my thing, I always have a great time at our football parties. Next time you get together with friends and family to watch a game (or for any reason at all!) make sure you whip up some Queso.It’s creamy, zesty and so, so addictive.
For a look into our latest party, check out the video below. It’s my very first video here on Lemon Sugar, but it was lots of fun. Hope you like it!

I think this stuff is so perfect because people associate it with good times like football games or summer barbeques. When I was a kid my mother used to make it in a double boiler on the stove then serve it over blazing sterno can (1960’s style!). The burnt bits are the best part. I like your spinach and cream cheese variation idea a lot!

The spinach ruined the dip for me. But I’m sure adding the spinach makes it perfect by upping the Iron and healthy factor in the dip. I think it’s perfect because it’s so easy and you can add a lot of your favorites to the dip. I prefer canned chicken, though.

Are we supposed to drain the spinach after it’s microwaved for 5 min? Or do we need that liquid? I drained it the first time I made it, and the dip was a bit thick. So maybe the answer is to NOT drain spinach?
