Super Queso for the Super Bowl! Because cheese and football just go together. Don’t they? Cheese and football. Football and cheese. It just works people, it just works. Don’t try to mess with the cheese and football mojo.
That being said. Let me tell you about that little pot of golden deliciousness. I accepted a challenge from a friend who really wanted a copycat Cafe Rio queso recipe. So, I went to Cafe Rio to get some nachos, because duh, nachos. And then I went home, ate all the nachos, and all the queso and then…I made more queso.

This perfectly creamy wonderfully processed cheese dip is full of salsa, jalapeños and 3 kinds of cheese. All. The. CHEESE. Now you just need one thing.

FOOTBALL!!!!
