Description

A rich and spicy queso dip loaded with ground beef, chorizo, melty cheeses, and bold Tex-Mex flavors—perfect for game day or party appetizers.


Ingredients

  • 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
  • Black beans (optional)
  • 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 Velveeta, cheddar, Monterey Jack, diced tomatoes with green chiles, and milk. Stir continuously until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth.
  4. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper to taste.
  5. Stir in chopped cilantro just before serving. Serve warm with tortilla chips.

Notes

  • For a smokier flavor, use fire-roasted diced tomatoes.
  • Black beans can be added for extra texture and protein.
  • Keep warm in a slow cooker for parties.
  • Adjust jalapeños to control the spice level.
