Amazing Grilled Mexican Queso Dip Recipe Will Make You Weekend MVP

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 DayJuly 4th or Labor Day.

Ingredients

  • ground beef, chorizo or breakfast sausage, cooked
  • Velveeta, cubed
  • hard cheese, cubed (pepper-jack, Monterey Jack, cheddar, mozzarella, etc.)
  • cilantro, chopped
  • onion, chopped
  • tomato, chopped
  • poblano pepper, chopped
  • fresh jalapenos, chopped

Here's how to make it:

  1. Cook the ground beef. You can not season, add spices or a package or two of  taco seasoning mix. (I used Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix)
  2. Put all the ingredients into a  large aluminum pan.
  3. Place the pan on your heated grill. Close the lid and allow it to start melting.
  4. Once it starts to melt, stir. Continue to cook.
  5. When everything is hot and melted, add some milk or cream (or more liquid from the tomatoes or even some juice from the pickled jalapenos) to get it to desired consistency. Serve with  tortilla chips.
