This is the perfect 3 ingredient cheesy queso sauce to send any meal over the top! I love to make this sauce with cooked chicken and pasta. You mix all the sauce, chicken and pasta together and you have the perfect meal! I have a recipe with this sauce, chicken and pasta called Easy Cheesy Chicken Mac & Cheese. Y’all should give it a try!

My family loved this sauce or even I call it a dip for chips or to eat with a spoon! LOL

We love to add browned breakfast sausage to this sauce and eat it as a dip with tortilla chips. Or, even to add to a taco or burrito is really delicious!

Can I add meat to my queso sauce?

YES! Most definitely can you add any cooked meats or pastas to this sauce, here a few ideas:

browned breakfast sausage
browned ground beef, ground chicken or ground turkey
browned Italian sausage
can of chili or chili with beans
can of tamales
add any kind of canned beans
chopped pepperonis or diced ham

ANOTHER, great idea is to add cooked pasta to your queso sauce, for example: any kind of noodles like elbow, bowtie, rotini, shells or spaghetti noodles will taste great and make a complete meal!
