Get the fiesta started with the Best Homemade Queso Dip Recipe ever! Spicy, creamy, delicious Mexican Queso Dip!

Best Homemade Queso Dip Recipe

If you’re looking for that perfect Game Day appetizer or side dish to put your Taco Tuesday or Cinco De Mayo meal over the top, look no further! This Homemade Queso Dip is numero uno!

We celebrated my son’s 23rd birthday over the weekend. Yup! I can’t believe it either. How is it possible that my baby is 23? Well, apparently I blinked and it happened!

I feel like it was just yesterday that I was 23. I was married and pregnant with him! Wow!

My son’s all time favorite food it Mexican food so that’s what he requested as his birthday meal.  Spicy Shredded Beef, Homemade Fresh Salsa (Pico de Gallo), Homemade Guacamole, Rice and this amazing Homemade Queso Dip!

Mom found a Salsa music CD to play to make our fiesta complete!  It totally made us feel like we were South of the Border. (I know technically Salsa is Cuban but it definitely has that Spanish feel).

My son is somewhat of a connoisseur of pretty much any food but definitely Mexican since it’s his favorite. He LOVE’S spicy food! So when I get a thumbs up from him I know I did something right.

He said that this Homemade Queso Dip was the best he’s ever had! He kept asking me what I had put in it and whether I thought it’d still be good to eat on Sunday for the Super Bowl.

That definitely made me smile! I think I’ll make a new batch for our Super Bowl festivities though. It was very easy to make and it actually reheated nicely too. We put it in my fondue pot on low to keep it warm and it was perfect. So if you’re serving this at your Super Bowl party this weekend then just place it in a fondue pot or crockpot and it will stay nice and warm for hours.
