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. Of course, if you have been following A Dash of Sanity – you know that I’m a Denver Bronco fan (born and raised here in CO, so naturally). I grew up with my mom making her classic Slow Cooker Queso Dip, you know the one of the back of the Velveeta box – yes, that one. And I loved it, it’s part of the reason I started to love football. Not kidding.
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 on the tradition but have also amped it up just a notch. My kids are huge foodies, and I honestly wish I could emphasize that enough but not sure I will be able to. And since I am a food blogger, when guests come over they kind of expect this amazing and elaborate spread. I mean what food blogger, doesn’t eat like this for every meal? {Silently laughing and running to get take-out.}
Here is the thing, I am all about the food on game day and having this amazing spread of treats, dips and just flat out deliciousness. But I am also about simplicity and that is the reason I seriously own, not just one but four Crock-Pot® Slow Cookers – yes you read that right 4! On an average week in our home, I use up to two slow cookers at a time at least once a week.
I make dips, desserts (like cobblers and brownies), lasagnas, soups, and pasta dishes all in my Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker. This not only makes my life simpler, but it also makes it a whole bunch tastier. And the same goes for game day.
Not only can you make this Slow Cooker Green Chile Queso in your slow cooker but as well as other game days classics like wings, chili, and meatballs. Yes, friends make your entire spread for game day in your slow cooker. Throw in the ingredients together and bam cook, then serve.
My favorite thing that the Crock-Pot® brand has done is make your favorite NFL team logo plastered onto your slow cooker. Like my team {ahem, the best team}, the Broncos, are now a part of our game day spread like actually represented on the table with not only plates and cups but as well as my Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker. You can get any NFL team on your slow cooker and it is so easy to order, I have even seen them at my local grocer, so you can do that too. But make it easy and hop on over and get your team slow cooker today and be sure to receive it before your next gameday party!
Here is the cool thing too – don’t just leave it for football season but you can also get your favorite NCAA Crock-Pot®!
Your next game day needs to include this Slow Cooker Green Chile Queso – not only is it just full of cheesy deliciousness but it a dip everyone will love. My kids are the pickiest queso eaters. And after 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 by using hot.
So while a game day party might seem overwhelming to you, don’t over contemplate it. Make it simple and tasty – use your Crock-Pot(s) to make the game-day classics and just enjoy the big game and the company that you have over. Enjoy friends! XOXO San

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.
