Silky smooth cheese dip with a kick! This easy Smoked Queso Dip is amazing with so much flavor. It has three types of cheese, ground sausage, salsa and more. That smokey flavor takes it over the top. Grab your chips and dig in!

We love a good queso dip around here and this Smoked Queso Dip might just be my favorite.

It’s perfect for backyard party, tailgating or having a party. We love it with smoked pork tacos!

You know what? I think it’s even better the next day! That’s right, the smoke flavor really comes out in the leftovers, so make it ahead of time and warm it in a Crock Pot when you have the party.

  • Mable jack cheese cubed
  • Velveeta cubed
  • Salsa
  • Onion
  • Rotel
  • Cream of mushroom soup

Tips & Tricks

  • If you prefer to use ground beef instead of sausage you can substitute it. Chorizo would also be another great option.
  • We recommend a mild wood chip like hickory, oak or pecan wood chips. A competition blend would also be great.
  • No smoker? Prep grill for indirect heat and grill over indirect at 250 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours until cheese is melted.
  • This dip develops a film on it while smoking or as it is cooling. Just stir it and it will melt into the dip again.
  • If serving it over a period of time at party keep it warm in a Crock Pot.
  • The queso will look really brown on top before each stirring from the smoke. Stir and incorporate the film into the dip, It will melt right in and incorporate the smoked flavor.
  • Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last 3-4 days.
