SLOW-COOKER QUESO



Slow-Cooker Queso image

On gameday, queso is an undisputed MVP but it often loses steam (and silkiness) by halftime. To combat the cooldown issue, this recipe calls for making the queso in a slow cooker, which you can keep plugged in to maintain cheesy, melty bliss through the final drive.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: Queso con carne is typically made with a blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but a good melting cheese is essential.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your queso con carne will taste. Use fresh meat, vegetables, and spices.
  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat adds flavor and helps to keep it moist. Be sure to brown the meat in a hot skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
  • Season to taste: Queso con carne should be flavorful, so be sure to season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Serve immediately: Queso con carne is best served immediately after it is made. The cheese will start to harden as it cools.

Conclusion:

Queso con carne is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables, and it can be served as a main course or an appetizer. With its creamy, cheesy texture and flavorful filling, queso con carne is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
