Queso Magnifíc

I’m pretty sure there’s an unwritten code that says if you’re from Texas then there queso in your blood, as in, you know what good queso tastes like and you won’t settle for less than the best! I used to call this queso fundito to until I tried the disgusting stringy greasy melted cheddar mess of a queso fundito that is popular at some Mexican restaurants. Not to discriminate, but that's just not my thing, and I don't want my deliciously creamy queso to be confused with anything... lesser. Hmph. What I have created is a masterful combination of quesos and taco, and tell me honestly, who doesn’t love tacos?! #tacoparty #tacosarelife.

Do you need another reason? Okay, well here it is; you can make this in the crock pot. Mic. Drop. Just know you’ll have to half the recipe to make this in a 1 qt crock pot, but really, who would want to do that????

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
Taco seasoning
OR you can use your home made blend of: cumin, garlic, onion, salt pepper, cayenne, & paprika

1 brick processed cheese - cheese plastic I know but it’s the perfect consistency!

1 can refried beans

1/2 cup sour cream

4 oz cream cheese

1-2 cans rotel (mild or hot, depending on desired spicyness)

1/4 cup chopped green onions

Guacamole or avocado for garnish

Tortilla chips for serving

Set crock pot to high heat. Brown beef over medium heat until cooked thoroughly. Season meat with taco seasoning before adding to crock pot.

Cut processed cheese bock into small squares and add to crock pot with remainder of ingredients. Do not drain any juices, but include them in the mix.

Stir queso occasionally to ensure even melting. Let heat about 20 min or until contents are melted and thoroughly mixed before serving.
