Brown ground beef and season with Lane's Fiesta Seasoning
Add all ingredients to a cast iron dutch oven or large cast iron skillet. Whatever you use it needs to have a cast iron lid.
Place on smoker without lid for 20 - 30 minutes for the queso to take on the smoke (We used the Recteq RT-1250 pellet smoker for this recipe, but if you are using a ceramic smoker be sure to use wood chips or chunks)
Mix queso place lid on and increase temperature to 350 for an hour to an hour and a half until queso is the correct consistency. Check on your queso along the way and mix around.

Basically nothing changes with the ingredients. Just make sure you have a big enough crockpot to hold all the ingredients. Set on low in the morning leading up to your event at least 2 to 3 hours. Stirring regularly.
Great recipe, might suggest lining the Dutch oven with foil. Make clean up easy.
