Fox News host Dana Perino on Monday jokingly addressed the backlash to her Super Bowl queso photo, seemingly acknowledging that she fell short in her attempt at making the popular dip.

"I, maybe mistakenly, posted a photo online with the caption, ‘I made queso’ ” Perino said on air. "And the Twitterverse sort of melted down like the cheese that was left out in the sun too long."

Her comments came a day after she posted a photo of her homemade dip shortly before the start of Super Bowl 53 between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams.

"No, you didn’t," Moe's Southwest Grill said from its official Twitter account in response to her tweet saying she had made queso. Comedian Patton Oswalt tweeted a black and white image including eyeballs and what appears to be slime with the caption: "I made queso." "I serve queso. I know queso. Queso is a friend of mine. Dana, that is no queso," the account Texas Humor said, a reference to former Sen. Lloyd Bentsen (D-Texas) telling vice presidential opponent Sen. Dan Quayle (R-Ind.) during a 1988 debate: "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you are no Jack Kennedy." No, you didn’t. https://t.co/xkHFFZwu5M — Moe'sSouthwestGrill (@Moes_HQ) February 3, 2019 I made queso. pic.twitter.com/6Tuz03vnoL — Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) February 3, 2019 I serve queso.

Queso is a friend of mine.

Dana, that is no queso. https://t.co/fbA9f8Pmfv — Texas Humor (@TexasHumor) February 3, 2019 Perino replied to many of the responses. ‍♀️ https://t.co/LPEBbgSJIr — Dana Perino (@DanaPerino) February 4, 2019 I had no idea there was elitist foodie twitter. Good to know! Anyway, the queso is gone and the salad is still sitting there. So...whatever dudes! https://t.co/vvQaChsZHs — Dana Perino (@DanaPerino) February 3, 2019 She said Monday that she attempted to make chili con queso in a brand new slow cooker. "I got the recipe off the internet," she said. "You know Chili’s the restaurant. It’s supposedly their recipe." Fox News host Greg Gutfeld responded by telling Perino to not get recipes off the internet, jokingly adding that there needs to be an "after school special about not making food off the internet." Gutfeld also said Perino's queso looked "diseased." Dana Perino: "I have made better queso … You know @Chilis the restaurant? It’s supposedly their recipe” pic.twitter.com/WdPjSQpcyW — Bobby Lewis (@revrrlewis) February 4, 2019 "You have created a permanent meme," he said, adding that "I made queso" could now "mean anything." Chili's Grill & Bar offered some advice to Perino on Monday after learning she got instructions from the restaurant chain. "Yeah it's supposed to look like this," it said on Twitter.
