How to win the Super Bowl with queso fundido
Lynley Jones
It’s Super Bowl weekend! Are you watching the game? (Are you ignoring the game?) It’s all good. Either way, my game-time strategy involves eating. And I’ve got a new recipe for Classic Queso Fundido with Roasted Poblanos that you will love either way.
I’ve also pulled together over 30 other recipes for your Super Bowl enjoyment, from drinks to apps to eats that feed a crowd.
And also this week, I’m sharing some Chinese recipe ideas for Lunar New Year, which is Tuesday! Lucky Chinese 5-Flavor Chicken is the perfect thing for any Chinese New Year feast.
Let’s get started…
Get It While It’s Hot:
Winning Super Bowl Strategies:
You know who’s going to win the Super Bowl this weekend? YOU my friend, with the best party ever. 30+ recipes for drinks, apps, mains and finger foods to keep their mouths full so they can’t talk during the game/commercials. (A winning strategy, amirite?)
The Recipe Highlight Reel:
Chicken poached in vinegar and soy sauce with garlic, bay leaves and black peppercorns, then broiled dark and crispy. A super-flavorful classic Filipino dish that’s simple to make. Plan ahead to make rice bowls with the leftovers…
A vegetarian burger where the cheese IS the burger. Halloumi cheese stands right up to browning directly in the griddle or on the grill, so you can skip the meat entirely. Slathered with garlic-mayo and topped with all the fixins, so you’re good to go.
One of the simplest things you'll ever make. And also drop-dead delicious. (How is that possible?)
Tomatillos and chiles roasted together and blended with onions and cilantro. This green salsa is cool, crisp, spicy and a little tangy, perfect on tacos or tostadas, or dolloped on fried or scrambled eggs.
Like potato chips made out of beets! Slightly sweet, salty, and a little spicy with a hint of curry.
Mild, creamy dip with a hint of goat cheese tang. Perfect for crudite or chips, as a spread on sandwiches or to dollop on veggies.
Sweet or spicy Italian-style sausages, braised in a little beer with soft, sweet peppers and onions. Easy weeknight dinner or football-watching crowd-pleaser.
And, happy Lunar New Year!
Chinese recipes for a lucky and prosperous new year.

Melty, gooey cheese, with roasted poblanos. Scooped into a warm tortilla and topped with salsa and other goodies, you can think of queso fundido as a vegetarian taco option (but it’s more likely you’ll just think of it as heaven).
