Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef *preference for 85/15
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning *mild
- 16 ounce Velvetta Cheese, cut into small cubes
- 8 ounce Colby Cheese block, cut into small cubes
- 10 ounce can fire roasted Rotel, drained
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced
- 9x13 disposable aluminum tray
- You also need Tortilla Chips for serving
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat on the stovetop, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Sprinkle in the spices and turn off the heat.
- Preheat the smoker to 300 degrees. Grab the disposable tin and layer both cheeses in the bottom. Pour over the drained Rotel and top with ground beef without excess fat. Sprinkle over half the green onions. Cover the aluminum pan with foil and seal around the pan.
- Place the covered foil dip on the bottom rack of the smoker and close the lid. Smoke for 1 hour. Uncover the foil and stir well. Turn off the smoker.
- Top with the remaining green onions. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then serve with tortilla chips and watch it disappear. Enjoy!
Notes
- Drain the excess grease from the meat before adding it into the tin.
- Remove most of the juices from the Rotel can, but it doesn't have to be perfect.
