Chorizo Queso Dip ingredients

 

Cook the chorizo first.

This is a very simple recipe to make.  It consists of dumping a lot of cheese in a baking dish and letting it melt, really that’s most of it.  But one thing you have to get done first is cooking the chorizo meat.  Chorizo come’s raw as a sausage link and will not cook if dumped into the baking dish along with the cheese.

In a saucepan, remove the chorizo meat from the casing and cook until it has crumbled and darkened in the pan.

Next, transfer the meat into a baking or casserole dish and it’s time to add in the cheeses.  Add in velveeta, cream cheese, 1/2 a can of beer and a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies. A great substitute for beer is chicken broth if you don’t feel comfortable using alcohol in the dish.

Add in some Hardcore Carnivore Tex Mex seasoning and mix it all together.  Shred some colby jack cheese on top.
