Ingredients

• 1/2 Bottle (5 oz) of Chili Crush - Green

• 1 pound lean ground beef

• 1 pound ground chorizo

• 1/2 yellow onion (chopped)

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 Bottle of Dash Extra Spicy Seasoning (salt free)

Ingredients For Blender

• 32 oz cottage cheese (2% milkfat)

• 8 oz block pepper jack cheese (cut into large chunks)

• 8 oz shredded Mexican cheese blend (or shredded cheddar)

• 4 oz Velveeta original (cut into large chunks)

• 2 Taco Seasoning Packets (or enough to season 1 pound of beef)

• 1 ¼ cups water

Directions

1. Combine all of the blender ingredients into a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds. Scrape down the edges with a spatula and blend again until smooth.

2. In a pot or a large pan, cook the ground beef, chorizo, and onion with the salt and garlic powder over medium/high heat until browned and no longer pink. If there is excessive oil then drain.

3. Turn the heat down to medium/low and pour the blended cheese sauce over the beef/chorizo/onion. Stir to combine.

4. Pour in 1/2 bottle of Dash Extra Spicy Seasoning. Continue to stir.

5. After the cheese sauce has warmed (roughly 5 minutes), pour in the 1/2 bottle of Chili Crush Green. Stir to combine.

Serving

Serve with your favorite tortilla chips or veggies and enjoy! You can also pour the queso into a crock pot and set to low/warm. This also reheats well in the microwave.
