Cheese Dip / Appetizer
6
20 minutes
2 hours
Lane's BBQ
1 diced tomato
I diced red onion
4oz cream cheese
1 block - 32oz Velveeta Sharp Cheddar Cheese Chopped
8oz Salsa (We used Pace Picante)
8oz Chopped Pepper Jack cheese
Lane's Fiesta Rub
4oz can Hatch Green Chiles
2 diced jalapenos (with or without insides)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
8oz Shredded Mexican Stlye Cheese
1lb Ground Beef
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 (If you are doing a charcoal style be sure to add wood chips)
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.
A beautiful mix of sweet honey, lemon, and pepper that will give your meat a citrus kick in the pants.
Great recipe, might suggest lining the Dutch oven with foil. Make clean up easy.
