Queso with Ground Beef

Queso with Ground Beef

Creamy, cheesy, and flecked with bits of ground beef, this classic Tex-Mex dip is sure to be a hit at your next party. Pair it with a bag of tortilla chips, or better yet, drizzle with reckless abandon over an entire sheet pan of nachos.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • For a hotter queso, add some dashes of your favorite hot sauce when you add the cooked beef.
  • For a smoky touch, season with adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers.
  • Substitute ground turkey for beef.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the cooked beef for cooked lentils.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
