Servings 14 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20 or 90/10
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 10-oz can diced tomatoes with green chiles drained
- ¾ cup milk any kind
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon table salt
- fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced onion and ground beef together. Cook until the beef is fully browned and the onion is translucent (about 8-10 minutes). Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Make in a Skillet
- Reduce the heat to low. Add all remaining ingredients (except cilantro) to the skillet with the beef and onion mixture. Stir until the cheese has completely melted and the queso is smooth (about 5-7 minutes). Serve immediately, garnished with chopped cilantro.
Make in a Slow Cooker
- Transfer the cooked beef and onion mixture to a slow cooker. Add all remaining ingredients (except cilantro) to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 1 hour, stirring every 15-30 minutes. Once the queso is smooth, reduce the temperature to the "warm" setting. Serve garnished with chopped cilantro.
Notes
If the queso is too thick, add a few tablespoons of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
Don't rush the melting process – low and slow is the key to smooth, creamy queso.
