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.

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.
