Dip-a-licious
Our family loves Queso! I perfected a version that they absolutely love and request frequently! I have two crockpots, one traditional crockpot and a Ninja that is able to braise, saute, steam, bake and the usual crockpot slow cooker options. Recently, I decided that I needed a mini-crockpot for hot dips like queso. It would be perfect for taking to the “man cave” when my hubby and family are watching football. (I don’t do football, I do cooking and lifetime movies, lol.) Join me for a multiple posts on food for the Superbowl, any sports games or just family fun!
