  • 1 Pit Boss Smoker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block Velveeta
  • 1 8 oz block Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
  • 1 can diced green chiles

  • 1 lb lean ground beef

Instructions
 

  • 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.

  • Once smooth and creamy, remove from the smoker and serve immediately with chips, veggies, or your favorite dippers.
