Cinco De Mayo is coming up and I’m sure you’re tired of making the same old thing. Well how about making queso dip, but with a new twist, let’s add venison!(and if you don’t have venison, feel free to use beef).
My loves a good dip, and this one hits all the marks, it’s creamy, lots of flavor, has a little spice, but not too much! Within 5 minutes of getting done photographing this thing, my husband had already dug into it and the dip maybe lasted a day or two.. it’s that good!
It’s also a great way to use your ground venison, I know we are always looking for new ways to use it besides chili and stew etc etc. So here it is add it to your queso & throw a Cinco De Mayo party.. go wild..literally!
So run to your store today & grab everything you don’t have & make this for Cinco De Mayo, or anytime for that matter.
