Spooky Smoked Queso

Ingredients

* 1 lb ground sausage (hot or mild)

* 1 lb lean ground beef

* 1 (32 oz) block Velveeta®, cubed

* 8 oz pepper jack cheese, shredded

* 1 (10 oz) can Rotel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, undrained

* 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles

* 1 Tbsp SpecialShit

* 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for extra smoky flavor)

* 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, if you like a little heat)

 

Preparation

1. Preheat your smoker to 250°F.

2. Brown the sausage and ground beef in a skillet. Drain any excess grease.

3. In a disposable aluminum pan, combine the cooked meat, Velveeta, pepper jack, Rotel, green chiles, SpecialShit, smoked paprika, and cayenne.

4. Place the pan in the smoker for 1½–2 hours, stirring every 20–30 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and everything is well combined.

5. Serve warm with your favorite dippers.

Tip: No smoker? No problem! Bake at 350°F for 30–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until hot and bubbly.
