Cowboy Queso
From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito
My goodness, this cowboy queso was such a huge hit with my friends and family.
From the moment I served this, it became an instant favorite and I know exactly why.
The creamy cheese with seasoned ground beef and all the beans and vegetables make this a truly irresistible appetizer that everyone is sure to love.
I’ve served this for so many family get togethers, parties and causal hangouts over the years because everyone just can’t get enough of it.
It’s especially a favorite during football season. My husband and his friends request this one a lot for game day watch parties.
All of the ingredients are simple but go together so well. It’s super easy to put together, too.
This recipe makes a lot of dip so you’ll have more than enough to snack on for the next day. That’s assuming your guests don’t eat it up all in one sitting.
Take this to your next party or get together and it is guaranteed to be the star of the show!
I hope you gift this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and friends do.

Cowboy Queso Variations
I like this queso recipe made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.
- Meat- Ground Beef, ground sausage or chorizo would all be ok to use for this recipe.
- Cheese- Add a little softened cream cheese or shredded cheddar cheese to add even more creaminess.
- Vegetarian- Omit the meat completely and add extra beans and corn to make this dip vegetarian.
- Rotel- If you can’t find Rotel, any kind of diced tomatoes will be ok to use.
