Bacon Queso Baked Pumpkin

September 30, 2021 Amanda Plott

Look. I don’t know. I have a problem with queso. It’s just the perfect and most ultimate food in my personal opinion. And this Bacon Queso Baked Pumpkin is Fall perfection. It’s as easy as taking a small pumpkin, hollowing it out, and backing your queso inside it for a fun and festive way to get your queso on.

And… everything in moderation, right? This Bacon Queso Baked Pumpkin is the most amazing way to save queso in the Fall season. It’s visually appealing, and I mean… how do you even go wrong with queso anyway? If it’s wrong, I don’t want to be right.

This queso is kicked up a it with some chipotle in adobo, but don’t worry it’s not too hot. It’s just the right about of spice that balances out with the little bi of pumpkin that comes along with the baking inside the pumpkin.

I topped mine off with just a little bit of fresh pico de gallo and served it with some mini chipotle tacos, but this would be just as amazing served with chips and salsa or even some guacamole.
