Description

A smooth cheese sauce, loaded with cooked ground beef, and simmered in beer and spices. What could go wrong with that?

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Chuck Or Beef, Cooked And Strained
  • 6 ounces, fluid Lager Beer
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 8 ounces, weight Ro-tel
  • 1 pound Velveeta Cheese
  • Crispy Tortilla Chips, To Serve

Preparation

Start by cooking beef until slightly crispy. Drain the fat from the beef, and return to the pot.

Next add beer, cayenne pepper, canned tomatoes, and the block of Velveeta cheese. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, cooking until you have a smooth sauce. (Note: Adjust stovetop heat to your preference, based on how patient you are. I know, you want it and you want it now, so if you do not want to cook on low heat, adjust the temperature, stir, and just make sure it does not burn. Does Velveeta even burn? Who knows.)

When queso is nice and smooth, serve in a bowl with crispy tortilla chips.

Scoop and dig in. This is something I make for my wife once a year (maybe twice), but now my kids are totally loving this stuff as well. I should consider making this into a grilled cheese, but the only problem is that it is always all gone!
