CHICAGO, Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As the weather
turns chillier, with leaves and footballs flying through the air, a
warm fall staple makes a return – Famous Queso. With Famous Queso
fans enjoying this delcious yet simple recipe in smaller groups in
2020, RO*TEL®, VELVEETA®
and ReadySetEat.com, the digital recipe hub of Conagra
Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CAG), have created new ways to make Queso
central to your festivities, no matter the size of the crowd.
The Famous Queso recipe remains an unaltered classic – RO*TEL's
signature blend of diced tomatoes and zesty green chilies are
paired with the smooth creaminess of liquid gold VELVEETA, then
warmed in a microwave or over a stovetop. Looking for ways to savor
this dish beyond the traditional bowl with chips for dipping?
ReadySetEat.com has you covered with these fresh ideas,
including:
Chicken Queso Soup: A queso-infused twist on Chicken Tortilla
Soup, a hearty bowl is a warm, satisfying addition for any
occasion.
Crunchy Breakfast Queso Wraps: Early kickoffs call for delcious
gameday fuel, and with hash browns and bacon joining your
"homegating" crew, this queso-inspired breakfast is certain to be a
hit.
Pretzel Knots with Beer Queso: Don't let the question of "What
to do with queso?" tie you up in knots. These soft-pretzel knots
are easy to prepare using pizza dough, while a beer cheese
variation adds a dimension of flavor to your Famous Queso.
In addition, queso-themed cornbread, chicken pot pie and
Southwest Lasagna recipes are available at
readyseteat.com/recipes/queso-recipes or by searching "Queso" from
the ReadySetEat.com home page.
"Famous Queso season looks a little different this year," said
Brett Castle, brand director,
Conagra Brands. "We are proud of the creations from our ReadySetEat
team that offer new ways to enjoy RO*TEL and VELVEETA together.
Famous Queso remains the perfect warm, delcious dish for any home
occasion."
