It feels like we were just ringing in the new year yesterday, but here we are at the beginning of February already! And for those who watch American football, that means there’s a big game day coming up that you’ll be tuning into.

For a classic game day food selection, you can never go wrong with the delicious queso dip. So cheesy, rich, and flavorful, everyone will keep reaching for it without fail. If you’re hosting a game day party with family and friends, this recipe is perfect as it can be doubled easily!

Velveeta Queso Dip with Ground Beef

Queso is a popular Tex-Mex cheese dip that’s incredibly addicting. A basic homemade recipe would normally require some sort of processed American cheese (because that’s the best way to get that smooth and cheesy texture) and a can of spicy diced tomatoes.

With this recipe, we’re adding in some seasoned ground beef for a fuller bite and extra depth of flavor. And instead of using canned tomatoes (read: Ro-tel), I’m using a fresh tomato but will add in some sliced jalapenos for that spicy kick.

Try to recreate the restaurant-style dip at home with this easy recipe!

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
  2. In a cast iron skillet/oven safe pan, add ground beef. Break up any clumps and cook over medium heat.
  3. Once it’s halfway cooked, add all the seasonings except for the light soy sauce and sugar. Stir and once it’s cooked, add the light soy sauce and sugar. Stir until well combined and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes then turn off heat.
  4. To the same skillet/pan, add everything else except the lime juice. Place the skillet/pan into the oven and let it cook for 30-35 minutes.
  5. Stir until everything is well combined and add lime juice. Garnish with whatever you want. Serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Notes for Ground Beef Queso Dip

  • Instead of salt, I like to use light soy sauce for that extra depth of flavor. You can skip and use salt, adjust to taste. 
  • I reserved about 1/4-1/2 cup of the cooked ground beef to garnish on top with pickled jalapeno and cilantro. This is optional but makes the dish look even more presentable.
  • If you don’t have a cast iron skillet/oven safe pan, cook the beef in any normal pan and transfer to an oven safe baking dish before adding the rest of the ingredients.
  • If the queso dip is too thick to your liking, I like to add 1/2 cup of milk immediately once it’s done cooking. Please note, only do this if you are using a cast iron skillet/oven safe pan because adding liquid to glass/breakable dish when it’s hot can cause it to break.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Mee Goreng (stir fried noodles) @farahjeats Mee Mee Goreng (stir fried noodles) @farahjeats 
Mee (mie) goreng, a quick and easy stir fried noodles recipe that’s great for lunch or dinner. Popular in Malaysia and neighboring countries like Indonesia and Singapore— with each country having their own version of it. Chewy noodles infused with spicy, tangy and savory flavors, and ready within 30 minutes!
This is definitely not an authentic recipe but a simplified version that my mother-in-law makes often and now a recipe that I make quite a lot for a quick breakfast using ingredients easily accessible to us here. It definitely hits the spot! Feel free to add protein of your choice to this dish or just add a fried egg on top! 
I’ll work on an authentic Malaysian mee goreng recipe and share soon ☺️

This is such an easy and addictive snack. I always have to make a lot if I’m sharing because I tend to finish the first batch all by myself 😂

Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
