Today, I am using the Desert Pepper Chile Con Queso in a brand NEW recipe, Cheesy Taco Soup. This Cheesy Taco Soup is so easy to make and is great for busy moms or families. This meal will be on the table in less than 30 minutes. The perfect meal for after a game. Make this meal ahead of time and all you have to do is serve the family after the game.
