Smoked queso dip

The Cen-Tex Smoker

I am an immigrant from Wisconsin (2nd generation) and many of my people have died for that much cheese freedom!

Having lived there, can confirm this statement is 100% true

Yum-o!

My wife and neighbor have been hounding me for two weeks to try smoked queso. Now that I've seen a fellow egghead do it, I think I'll give it a shot this weekend.

It was my first time making this so feel free to adjust to your liking.  Here is a rough idea of what I did though:

2 small containers cream cheese. 1 chive flavored, 1 jalapeño.
1 block of fiesta velveeta
3 bell peppers diced
1/2-1 red onion diced
1 jar habanero salsa of your choosing
6-8 jalapeños diced
1 packet of thick cut bacon cooked and diced 
1 package of bob evans spicy sausage cooked with dizzy pig spicy dizzy dust
2 bags of shredded cheese. I think I did one Mexican/fiesta style and one just an extra sharp cheddar.

Mixed all together and topped with dizzy pig fajiataish.  A few wood chunks on the egg, rock wood charcoal, at about 350 for 60-90 minutes till all melting and able to be mixed a suitable for a dip.

Would then encourage transfer to a crockpot and held warm for stable holding while entertaining.

I did the Meat Church version of this last weekend. It twas a hit. Used Dizzy Pig Red Eye coffee rub in it which was a nice subtle addition. Thanks again for the inspiration.

@Leopoldstoch a few Questions about your Gawjus dip. Was it all for immediant consumption......or did you make to break down into smaller batches for later? Freez or freezes well?

Some of it was served for immediate consumption , but the majority of it was broken down into smaller batches and vac sealed into the freezer for a later date.

Plan to either Sous vide or crockpot when it comes time to reheat.

Thanks for posting the pics and details.  These BGE queso variants have been making rounds on the FB groups for a couple months and I was in the group of "why are you lighting the egg to melt cheese?"  But I get it now.  That looks great!
