Every foodie group is talking about it: smoked queso. It's definitely a hot food trend you need to try! This Mexican queso recipe is cooked outside on your grill, preferably with wood in a smoker. But if a charcoal grill or gas grill is all you have, you'll still be a happy camper after that first tortilla chip gets dunked.
All you need to make this amazing grilled queso recipe is meat of your choice (ground beef, chorizo or pork breakfast sausage), processed cheese loaf, hard cheeses, fresh cilantro, chopped onion, chopped tomato, poblano peppers, fresh jalapenos, pickled jalapenos, fresh garlic, canned tomatoes and milk or cream. Mix, match, omit and change the ingredients to suit your family's tastes. The ingredients are cooked until smooth and melted on a grill.
If you want a vegetarian queso, simply leave out the meat. This easy queso recipe is sure to be the hit at your next get-together like Memorial Day, July 4th or Labor Day.
