Cowboy Queso

*from the cozycook.com 

Ingredients

Ground beef

Salt and Pepper to taste

3/4 cup ale/beer

1/2 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded

16 oz Velvetta cheese

14.5 oz Rotel Tomatoes

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Instructions

In a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat, brown and crumble the ground meat, adding in desired amounts of salt and pepper.

Once it’s nice and brown, drain any excess grease, add the beer. Let the beer reduce for about 4-5 minutes.

Add in the cheese and let it melt and simmer, stirring occasionally.

Once the cheese is melted, stir in the beans, red onions, and cilantro. Add the tomatoes and some of the juice from the can, only if you want it to be a little thinner in consistency. If you've already reached your desired level of thickness, don't add any juice.

Crock Pot Instructions

Brown the meat and drain the grease first, then add all remaining ingredients. Heat on high for 2 hours or on low for 4-5 hours.
