Instructions

Part of my job as Head Grill Master for Weber is to cook for crowds of people, showing off everything our grills can do. So, I’m always looking for crowd-pleasing recipes that are easy to throw together. This queso dip gets plenty of flavor from the chorizo and smoked gouda, but the real flavor comes from its time on the grill.
  • Prepare the grill for 2-Zone, Medium Heat cooking, 325°–375°F. Place a 12" cast iron skillet or Dutch oven on the grill and preheat for 15 minutes.

    Set the grill to 350°F. Place a 12" cast iron skillet or Dutch oven on the grill and preheat for 15 minutes.
  • Add the chorizo to the skillet and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until cooked through, 10–12 minutes. Transfer the chorizo to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain the grease.
  • Add the can of soup, Rotel, with its juices, and BBQ seasoning to the skillet, and bring to a simmer, 6–8 minutes.
  • Stir in the cheese and add the chorizo back to the skillet. Cook, with the skillet uncovered but the grill lid closed, until the cheese has melted and flavors have melded together, roughly 45 minutes, stirring 3–4 times.
  • Stir in the cilantro during the last 5 minutes of cooking and serve with tortilla chips.

Recipe Tips

Mexican chorizo is a raw pork sausage that needs to be cooked before serving, unlike Spanish-style chorizo that is dried and cured. You want the raw style for this recipe.
