Italian Queso-Delizioso! Super Easy to Make!
Italian Queso is oh so Delizioso!!! I made this for our Super Bowl party and it was a BIG hit. Good thing I made this awesome spin on traditional Queso cause the game was borrringgg!! At least the food was super good!
Italian Queso is Super Easy!
The inspiration for this dip came from a recipe I found on Pinterest from the blog Buns In My Oven. As usual, I changed it up adding some pickled Pepperoncini peppers, capers, and different kinds of cheese.

You could also add pepperoni, salami, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, spinach, capers…so many options. Hey and the really great thing about this dish; it’s super easy!
Chop the olives, garlic, peppers, and cheeses. Mix everything together, put in a cast iron skillet and cook for 20-30 minutes. That’s it! Couldn’t get any easier unless someone else did it.
No need to add salt because the olives take care of that naturally.

This savory Italian Queso dip would also be really good baked with chicken; replacing the Velveeta with cream cheese, and adding it to pasta. Or as a filling for a scooped-out bowl of french bread baked. Yummmmmm!
