I love one-pot dinners, and one-skillet meals are some of my favorites. When VELVEETA Cheesy Skillets invited me to be an ambassador, I jumped at the chance. Their dinner kits provide a simple, flavorful weeknight solution, featuring that creamy VELVEETA cheese sauce we all know. The best part: you can make a complete meal in a single skillet.
Recently VELVEETA noticed thousands of skillets listed on online auction sites. To highlight what a skillet is for, they purchased more than 1,000 of those listings and returned them to sellers with a box of VELVEETA Cheesy Skillets. The campaign lives on social with the hashtag #whatmyskilletisfor. It was fun to see people’s surprised reactions when their skillet came back with dinner included — a creative way to remind people how useful a good skillet can be.
VELVEETA is encouraging fans to spread the word using #whatmyskilletisfor. If a post helps someone realize their skillet is meant for cooking a quick, satisfying meal, that’s one less skillet sold and one more family enjoying dinner together. I love the idea of saving skillets and making mealtime easier.
Now for the recipe. This version uses the Nacho Supreme VELVEETA Cheesy Skillets kit. I added black beans and corn for color and texture, and topped the finished dish with broken tortilla chips and spoonfuls of salsa for a festive touch. It took 20 minutes or less from start to finish and was all cooked in one skillet — exactly the kind of easy, tasty meal I look for on busy nights.
