Equipment

  • Grill

Ingredients
  

  • 1 4-oz can mild green chiles drained
  • 1 10-oz can tomatoes with green chilies drained
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream + more for thinning if needed.
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 2 cups shredded white American Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Place all of the queso ingredients in an 8x8 disposable pan.
  • Heat a grill or smoker to medium heat (300 degrees F) and when heated place the queso pan on the grill. Check the dip after 10 minutes and stir. The dip will likely be mostly melted, but not smooth. Check in 5 minute increments and stir until the dip is smooth. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • If your queso is too thick add heavy cream to thin and stir well.
  • If you cannot find white American cheese check the deli section, they almost always have it. An alternative is Monterey Jack, however it doesn't melt quite as smoothly.
  • This recipe makes 10 1/4-cup servings, and each serving has 1.8 net carbs.
