I really love hosting meals at our home and inviting others over for dinner. What I don’t love is spending the evening in the kitchen and missing out on time with our friends. A meal that I can prep ahead of time and has minimal set up is perfect for group meals or parties. All the work is done by the time people show up and I get to spend time talking, not cooking. Today’s DIY Queso Potato Bar is one of those meals, plus it is delicious.
Queso Potato Bar-
A DIY Queso Potato Bar is a great meal for larger groups not only because it’s easy, but because everyone can make their meal just how they like it. The real star of this DIY bar though is the Queso, so YUMMY!!! Queso For All!!!
This Potato Bar is made up of two of my favorite foods, Cheese and Potatoes. This Queso recipe is SUPER easy too! Queso is a quick, easy and zesty recipe with just two ingredients, VELVEETA and RO*TEL. Find out more about these two and their amazing combinations here: Queso For All
To make the Queso Recipe:
- 1 can (10 oz each) Ro*Tel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, undrained
- 1 pkg (16 oz each) Velveeta®, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Put together in a bowl and on Med heat warm in the Microwave until the cheese is melted and warmed through. Stir after each 30 sec. of cooking. This Queso is just the right amount of heat, even my boys love it. Spicy enough to add amazing flavor and cheesy to enhance all the potatoes in my Queso Potato bar.
The other items in the DIY bar were easy to prep as well…. I wrapped sweet potatoes and white potatoes in foil and baked in the oven for around an hour at 350. I made home-style oven fries {which were amazing in the Queso!} You can find my homemade fry recipe here. I cooked bacon, steamed some broccoli, grated cheese and put butter and sour cream in bowls. Oh, and I chopped a few green onions for garnish…. Lay out with the potatoes and all the yummy toppings and you are set!
The fries were AMAZING in the the Queso! The potato Queso combination is so good. I’m thinking of making a oven baked potato Queso dish next time I make this Queso recipe.
We loved eating this! Our whole family loved it and we have enjoyed eating the leftover Queso too!
