Spicy Cowboy Queso Dip

A rich and spicy queso dip combining ground beef, chorizo, peppers, and a blend of cheeses with tomatoes and cilantro for a flavorful, creamy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb chorizo sausage
  • 1 white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
  • 16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and chorizo until fully cooked, about 8 minutes; drain excess grease.
  2. Add chopped onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeños to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until vegetables are softened.
  3. Reduce heat to low and add all cheeses, diced tomatoes with chiles, and milk. Stir continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir in chopped cilantro just before serving.

Notes

For extra heat, leave seeds in the jalapeños or add additional chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Use a cast iron skillet for better heat distribution and flavor. Serve warm with tortilla chips or fresh veggies.
