There is nothing more exciting to me about football game days than gathering our friends and family around a tasty spread of food and cheering on our favorite team. I grew up with my mom making her classic Slow Cooker Queso Dip.
I remember growing up there being nachos and popcorn with M&M’s. Well, my kids, of course, think that is a winning combination. So I have continued the tradition and amped it up just a notch.

Easy Queso Dip
The one thing I can always manage to make is this crock pot queso dip. It’s the perfect snack for the game day if you’re short on time. It combines three types of cheese and green chiles (basically the best combo ever), and no one can resist it – I always double up on the chips so every last cheesy drop can be enjoyed.
It’s my mom’s recipe with upgrades. Its deliciousness hasn’t changed – it’s one of my family’s favorites, and it will soon be yours, too.
The combination of cheese in this dip is the secret. Fontina and American cheese melt beautifully, so the queso has the best creamy texture. The cheddar cheese brings the flavor, so you get a dip with the right texture and the best flavor.
I am all about the food on game day and having this fantastic spread of treats, dips, and just flat-out deliciousness. But I’m all about simplicity, and this easy cheese dip, with its short ingredient list and easy prep steps, is always a winner.
Your next game day needs to include this Queso Verde – not only is it just full of cheesy deliciousness, but it is a queso recipe everyone will love.
My kids are the pickiest queso eaters. And after the first taste – all 5 said this was the best queso ever! What is fantastic about this queso dip is that you can add additional heat if you want. I used mild chiles, but you can easily amp it up by using hot ones.

Notes
Your Queso looks delicious! I love the NFL Crock-Pot! Thanks for sharing the recipe, San!
I LOVE that I could have my very own Crock-Pot with our favorite team’s logo on it! It goes without saying that it would have to be the Patriots. Would love to make this queso in it as my first recipe, too! This is going to be perfect for every game day!
This recipe looks so tasty and would be perfect on Game Day.
I had to look it up. I’d never heard of quesadilla cheese! Can’t wait to try it.

This is a really good recipe. Delicious. I find it really annoying when people leave comments before they make the recipe. Nobody cares that your going to try the recipe. We only care to read your review after you’ve made the recipe!!!
Thank you!
