Preheat your smoker to 225-250°F using hickory, mesquite, or applewood for smoke flavor.
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Cut the Velveeta and Monterey Jack cheese into cubes for easier melting.
In a disposable aluminum pan, add the cooked ground beef, cubed cheeses, Rotel, diced green chiles, and a splash of milk.
Place the pan in the smoker and cook for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally until the cheese is fully melted and the flavors are well combined.
Once smooth and creamy, remove from the smoker and serve immediately with chips, veggies, or your favorite dippers.
