Instructions

    1 lb lean ground beef

    1 oz pkt taco seasoning

    1 lb velveeta cheese, 1 10 oz can diced tomatoes with green chiles, 6 oz shredded colby jack cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 oz shredded pepper jack cheese, 1 8 oz block cream cheese, 1 4 oz can diced mild green chiles, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 cup half & half, 2-3 garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
  • Cover and cook on LOW heat for 2 hours, stirring every 15 - 30 minutes to prevent burning, until evenly combined and the dip's smooth.
  • Serve warm with your favorite dipping options, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Lean ground beef is a must! Don't use the 73/27 or your beef will be too greasy.
  • If you want a vegetarian queso, either skip it all together or substitute a can of drained black beans.
  • Do not substitute milk or low fat cream cheese for the half and half or cream cheese. You need the full fat to make it super creamy.
