Beef Queso Dip
An incredibly velvety, meaty queso dip that is completely irresistible – and you can make it in just 15 minutes!
I hope you’re not getting sick of all these game day recipes because I have yet another crowd-pleasing appetizer to share with you all. It’s inspired by the beef enchilada dip I made a couple weeks ago except this one is loaded with even more cheesy, velvety goodness.
With some leftover ground beef, a block of velveeta cheese and some handful pantry ingredients, this dip comes together so quickly in one skillet in just 15 minutes. How easy is that? Just be sure to have an extra bag of tortilla chips ready to go because this dip will be disappearing very quickly among your guests!
Beef Queso Dip
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Emeril's Essence Creole Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 8 ounces VELVEETA®, cubed
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup canned diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup canned chopped green chiles
- ¼ cup salsa verde
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add ground beef, Emeril's Essence, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat and transfer to a plate.
- Add VELVEETA® to the saucepan, stirring until melted. Stir in Monterey Jack cheese, diced tomatoes, green chiles and salsa verde until well combined.
- Stir in ground beef and cilantro until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve immediately.

Do you drain the canned diced tomatoes and chilis before adding them? Or should you ad some of the canning liquid too? This looks soooo good!!
I left all the canning liquid as is. It’ll balance out the heavy, dense cheesiness when your stir it in.
I would gladly take a dip in this dip! QUESO FOR LIFE!
We just need to throw in some tots man!

Velveeta is one of my processed food weaknesses. It’s just sooooooo creamy. I could destroy a bowl of this on game day!
Love a good, cheesy dip!
Please keep making these queso recipes! I love them, and I don’t think I will ever get tired of game day recipes. 🙂

YUM!! This is such a delicious dip!
I’m probably going to have to hide this post from the.boy lest he demand I make it immediately!! So perfect for game day!
As a guy I want to send this post to my wife and demand it be made. But then I remember she would tell me to just make it myself, then steal it from me when it was done. No need to wait for game day on this cheesy treat.
I like the way you think! This is too good to save for game day!
Cheesy and spicy. Thats all I need in a dip! I could eat that little pot all by myself!
This dip is absolutely delicious and perfect anytime!!
