Ingredients
- 9 oz chorizo crumbles
- 16 oz pepper jack cheese
- 8 oz White Cheddar Cheese
- 10 oz white Velveeta cheese
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to medium-high heat, around 375 degrees F. Set your smoke level to high so you can get the most smoke flavor in your queso possible.
- Cut all your cheeses into ½" cubes so they melt nice and evenly. Even better if you can bring them to room temperature.
- Layer your cheeses, meat, salsas, and veggies in your Dutch oven or disposable foil pan.
- Place the pan on the smoker (or side of the grill) and cook for 1-2 hours. Stirring every 20 minutes to help incorporate evenly.
- If your queso is too thick or you'd like to add extra creaminess, stir in some sour cream, milk, or heavy cream until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve with your favorite dippers like tortilla chips, frittos, or fresh veggies.
