Make it your own by swapping out the meat, using different add-ins, or changing the method of cooking. I also love to make it spicer when I want the extra kick!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Swap the Meat: <\/strong>Ground beef, chicken, or pork all work! Season with taco seasoning and cook before adding. Cooked chicken breast or carne asada would also be SO delicious.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add-In Options: <\/strong>Add chopped bell peppers, use different onions, or add drained beans for a fun texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use Different Cheese:<\/strong> Velveeta is a MUST, but feel free to switch out the pepper jack with Monterey Jack, cheddar, or Colby-Jack cheese. I recommend soft cheese for this dip.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it Extra Spicy:<\/strong> If you love spicy add some cayenne pepper or some fresh serrano to really kick up the spice level!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other Cooking Methods:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t have a Traeger smoker, no problem! This dip can be made in a BBQ grill, the oven, or even the crockpot! Follow the same directions for a grill and oven. Stir occasionally and watch it closely because it may cook faster. Cook on low in the crockpot for 2 hours, stirring often. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Top view of smoked queso dip in a disposable aluminum pan.\" class=\"wp-image-226096\" style=\"width:800px;height:1200px\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" title=\"Bring this easy and flavorful smoked queso dip to your next party or game day!
