Today I am sharing this delicious Easy Beef Queso recipe along with my thoughts on the ease of picking up all of your family game day essentials.

Growing up, football season was big in my home. My parents had their friends over and always made a delicious spread. I have fond memories of my mom’s queso, Shelia’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, and Jean always bringing something new and tasty. Connie, my mom’s friend, was known for her no-bake cookies, and I always hoped she would bring them; it always made my day. More often than not, she did.

I want to create these same memories for my kids, starting with great food and people.

Of course, since my mom’s queso recipe was my favorite, I wanted to share it with you. Easy and simple, this is the perfect dip for chips, crackers, and taquitos, and honestly, you could eat it with a spoon.
