Longhorn Brisket Queso Recipe

This Longhorn-style brisket queso is smoky, cheesy, and completely over-the-top in the best way possible!
Using real smoked brisket is key—leftovers work great, but a little liquid smoke can help if you don’t have any.
A mix of white American and cheddar cheese gives it that smooth, creamy consistency you want in a queso.
A slow melt over low heat keeps everything from separating, and stirring in some Rotel adds just the right amount of spice.
