How to Make Your Own Beer Cheese Queso Dip

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 12 ounces of beer (your choice)
• 1 cup pepper jack cheese (shredded)
• 1 cup sharp cheddar (shredded)
• 16 ounces Velveeta (cut into small squares)
• 1 can black beans
• 1 can Rotel tomatoes
• ¼ cup cilantro
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Red Pepper flakes (to taste)

Serves: 6-8

Directions:

On a nonstick skillet, brown ground beef. Drain off any excess grease.

Add your beer of choice to the browned ground beef. Allow to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add in salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, beans, all three cheeses, cilantro, and rotel tomatoes. Stir frequently until hot, cheese has melted and all ingredients are well-incorporated.

Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Tips/Tricks/Variations:

I opted for Corona, but you can use any beer that you like.

The sky’s the limit with the type of cheeses you can use: provolone, mozzarella, etc. would work wonderfully!

You can swap black beans for kidney beans or a can of tri-colored beans.

You can also add a variety of toppings like tomatoes, jalapenos, avocado, sour cream, cheese, cilantro, salsa, etc.

The key to this dip is to cook it on low and as slowly as possible. I use low-medium heat, stirring constantly – otherwise it will burn very quickly.

You can swap the ground beef for ground turkey, ground chicken, ground sausage, chicken, pulled pork, brisket. You can even go meatless!
