When I’m at the grocery store, I like to poke around the cheese sections and see what I can find. One day, I found these beautiful cheeses and that made me think, “Ooh queso! Yes, that’s what I’ll bring to the lake with me!” … and so, along with the many varieties of banana bread and the chicken tortilla soup, I brought queso.
We got to my parent’s house on the lake, and my sisters and I were munching on the queso dip and I asked them what I should call it and they said “um, queso?” … LOL. So, queso dip it is. It’s got a lot of “extras” in it, though, that you don’t always find in queso dip, so I decided it should be Queso Dip Supreme. It does make for some supreme snacking … at the lake in the summertime with a good beer to wash it down. What’s better than that?
Don’t be afraid to play with this recipe and add more or less of each of the extras. I’m thinking next time maybe I’ll add some chopped peppers. If you can’t find the Mexican dipping cheese, you can substitute American. And for the salsa jack, you can substitute pepper jack and/or cheddar.
