Notes
- To Thin The Queso: You can thin the cheese sauce to your desired consistency by adding a little regular milk or more evaporated milk.
- Smooth Queso: If you prefer a smoother, thinner queso, use American cheese instead of the Monterrey jack or pepper jack cheese.
- Ground Beef Queso – Instead of brisket, use ground beef in the queso.
- Velveeta Brisket Queso – Use Velveeta cheese, or white American cheese, instead of the three cheese mixture.
