Cowboy queso is very similar to our <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/smoked-queso-dip\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">smoked queso dip<\/a>, made with sausage and Velveeta cheese. However, this cowboy version is taken to the next level with the addition of beer, beans and corn! It\u2019s quick and easy to whip up and makes a great appetizer for any occasion from parties to lazy weekends!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients-in-cowboy-queso\">Ingredients in Cowboy Queso<\/h2>\n<p>Velveeta cheese is a must in this dip because it\u2019s incredibly melty and has the creamiest texture for dipping. Combine that with the sausage and all of the other flavorful ingredients, and you\u2019ll have an amazing appetizer for game day, parties, or family get-togethers. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mild Sausage:<\/strong> 1\u00a0pound\u00a0cooked and crumbled.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chili Powder:<\/strong> For a subtle kick of heat. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion powder:<\/strong> Gives this dip the perfect onion flavor. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Pale Ale Beer:<\/strong> Adds robust deep flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rotel:<\/strong> A delicious combination of diced tomatoes and green chilies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Velveeta Cheese:<\/strong> Don\u2019t try to substitute the Velveeta. You will love the creamy texture it gives the dip.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monterey Jack Cheese:<\/strong>\u00a0If you have the time, shred this yourself from a block. It will have the best flavor and melt more smoothly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Black Beans:<\/strong> Rinse and drain for added fiber, flavor and texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corn:<\/strong> Use canned or frozen corn for a hint of sweetness in every bite.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" alt=\"The top view of the ingredients for the dip, each individually labeled. \" class=\"wp-image-255414\" title=\"Get ready to rustle up some serious flavor with this Cowboy Queso!
