My family has always been a big fan of the Heluva Good!® dips so when I saw they had a variety of block cheese in the cheese section of my local Walmart, I decided that is what I would be serving for my daughter’s 10th birthday!
Walmart had a big selection of Heluva Good! Block Cheese to choose from including Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, Extra Sharp Cheddar, Sharp Cheddar, White Extra Sharp Cheddar, White Sharp Cheddar, White Mild Cheddar, Muenster, Monterey Jack, and my favorite, Special Reserve Extra Sharp Cheddar.
All of their block cheeses are gluten free, made with real milk, have 0 grams trans fat per serving, and are great sources of protein and calcium!
I purchased 4 blocks of cheese for the party as I already had a few recipe ideas in mind! One of my daughter’s favorite things is a veggie and cheese platter, so I knew I had to make that good ol’ standby for her party. I decided I’d also make a party favorite – beef queso dip!
Beef Queso Dip
My Beef Queso Dip comes out perfect every time and everyone always raves about it. We’ve never had leftovers. Best of all, it’s surprisingly filling so it’s not just good as a snack, it makes a good lunch or dinner side as well!
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 tbsp butter
- ¼ gluten free flour
- 1 cup 1% milk
- 1 cup of Heluva Good! Pepper Jack shredded
- 1 cup of Heluva Good! sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup medium salsa
- Cook ground beef with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt.
- Make a roux by melting butter in a pan over medium heat, add flour once butter has melted. Stir continually with a whisk for 2 minutes.
- Whisk in milk and continue to cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes until thick.
- Add the shredded cheeses and blend until smooth.
- Add the salsa and beef to the cheese mixture and stir.
- Simmer on low heat for 4-5 minutes.
- Serve in a bowl with tortilla chips or pita chips on the side for dipping.
You need a really good nonstick pan to make this delicious cheese dip.
We served this delicious Beef Queso Dip with Late July tortilla chips alongside a delicious veggie and cheese platter.
My family loves Heluva Good! cheese and with so many different options and such low prices, we can afford to treat ourselves to our favorite blocks of cheese all the time now!
