Directions

Heat smoker to 225 degrees
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.
