Super Bowl The Q&E Way

Having the gang over for Super Bowl?  Don't stress for the next two weeks I will be posting recipes and you will have a winning party. Some of the recipes can be made ahead, to give you a chance to gather with your friends and family and enjoy the game  I have included some hot last minute put together ideas as well.

How about decorating the TV room in the colors of the team you are rooting for and don't forget the pom poms.

Cheese Queso Bowl

Beer Cheese Queso

Ingredients

1 32oz package Velveeta Cheese (diced)

1/2 cup  beer

1 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

In a pan on medium low heat, melt Velveeta. Add rotel tomatoes. Stir until blended. Add beer. Stir. Add shredded cheese. Stir until everything is mixed thoroughly.

Bread Bowl
Bake your favorite bread recipe in a round loaf to make a bread bowl. Hollow the center and fill it with  the Beer Cheese Queso. Place center pieces of the bread bowl cut up along side of the dip. Don't want to make a bread bowl. Then use nachos to dip with.
