Hey Brother I tried this for our family Christmas get together and it was awesome! It is now on my request list from the grandkids and kids lol! Thanks for sharing this!
You’re so full of it….”I have to test it before I make it for someone else” I do the same thing 😄. We have queso for dinner sometimes I make bacon cheeseburger dip sometimes too. When you do the pickled jalapeño add some juice too🤤
Hungry now. I'm sure I would triple the bell peppers, but that's just my own preferences, not a criticism. I have a theory that when it "skins over" in the smoker, the skin part is where all the smoke flavor goes. if you pulled that off to another dish instead of stirring it in every time, you probably could divide a batch up into any number of different levels of smoky.
I wrote down the recipe to make it this weekend. If anyone else is interested: Abom Adventures - Gameday Queso Recipe Ingredients • 1lb Ground protein (beef, sausage, dealer's choice) • 1lb Velveeta cheese, medium rectangles • 8oz Pepper Jack, medium cubes • 8oz Monterey Jack, medium cubes • 8oz Sharp Cheddar, medium cubes • 1 can(10oz) Ro-Tel diced tomatoes (original, mild, hot, hatch, etc.) • 1 can(4oz) diced/chopped green chilies (hatch, jalapeño, mild, hot, etc.) • 1 Onion, diced • 1 Green bell pepper, diced • 2 Jalapeño peppers, diced • 1/2 tsp Cumin powder (or ground) • 1/2 tsp Oregano • 1/4 tsp Garlic powder (or granulated) • 1/4 tsp Onion powder • 1 Beer of your choice Steps 1. Brown/cook the protein in a dutch oven. Let it cool down some before continuing. 2. Add all the ingredients on top of the ground protein. 3. Prepare the smoker (charcoal, wood, etc.). 4. Preheat the smoker to 275°-300° F. 5. Put dutch oven into the smoker without its lid. 6. Stir occasionally (every 15 to 30 minutes) until the cheese is fully melted and everything is incorporated. 7. If serving immediately, you can wrap the dutch oven with a towel for insulation. Alternatively, you can store it in an insulated dutch oven tote/carrier and leave the tote top open. If service will be over an extended period, transfer the finished queso to a slow cooker, to hold the temperature above 140° F, and put a lid on it. Transporting If you transfer the queso to a slow cooker, you can transport the slow cooker to another location (church potluck, family gathering, gameday viewing location, etc.) and hopefully plug it in. Alternative Cooking Options 1. No smoker? How about a charcoal grill with a lid? Just monitor the temperature closely. You don't want to overheat the queso. 2. No charcoal smoker/grill? How about a gas smoker/grill. Try adding a bit of liquid smoke to get a hint of smokiness. 3. Don't want to use a smoker or grill? How about using your oven? Try adding a bit of liquid smoke to get a hint of smokiness. 4. Use the slow cooker directly? I've had many delicious cheese dips the came into existence in a slow cooker. Be sure to brown/cook your protein on the stovetop, transfer it to the slow cooker, then carry on. Try adding a bit of liquid smoke to get a hint of smokiness.
Sorry Abby....can't get behind them Chiefs....GO LIONS! Been waiting nearly 60 years for this kind of team. Even if they don't make it this year (I mean, we set a record for the most players injured in a season and are STILL top of the world), there is next year. As a lifelong Lions fan I'm just living in the moment. Are they the "Best"? Probably not, but neither are the Chiefs. Honestly the Bills are probably the best team in Football right now...even with one more loss than your Chiefs or my Lions. As for the smoked cheese (not for me, not a big cheese person...horrors), how much smoke actually gets into the cheese? I mean it's covered and all so I always wondered about that.
I made some with grond beef and chorizo. It was really good. Yours look great too.
