Juicy Lucy and Queso

[jmusser]

After some inspiration from Kilo Charlie and some others, decided it was time to try one. Grabbed 4# burger, made 12 patties. Made 6 total with a 4oz chunk of Velveeta inside. A little Meat Church All Purpose. In the Traeger at 250 with AMNPS (Hickory) half filled with each end lit.

On the smoke:

Sear time:

Juicy Shot:

Queso Time!
Pound Velveeta
2 cans Rotel hot and mild
Pound beef
Can Mushroom with Roasted Garlic(appreciate that tip to find this!)
Smoked pepper jack
Smoked colby
Rub
Onion
350 for an hour
Donkey Chips and Fritos to dip. Perfect consistency to dip.

Was very happy with this. Overall a great meal. Roasted some beans and asparagus as a side. Big fans all around. Pretty simple, but easy and tasty. Easy enough for a weeknight cook.

Thank you. Good, family level of spiciness.

What are Donkey chips?

Thanks Chris. Donkey Chips are a tortilla chip. My favorite as they are a little thicker so they hold up well for dipping.

Nicely done!!!

Someone inspired me, lol. Thanks!

Love the look of that burger . Nice job .

Thanks Chop. Was actually convenient as I smoked then panned and brought to friends house to sear.

Appreciate it chef. My burg got covered in queso. It is just Campbells Cream of Mushroom with roasted garlic. I had never seen nor heard of til I read about it. Will definitely replace in all future recipes as we LOVE garlic in this house!

Yes. "Can Mushroom with Roasted Garlic(appreciate that tip to find this!)" does not indicate anything about being soup.

I was a little surprised to see Campbells Soup in Queso but, if it works, it works. I was so impressed withe the combo of ingredients, I usually just Nuke Velveeta and Rotel, that I sent my wife your list of ingredients to purchase so I can make a batch...JJ
