Loaded Cowboy Queso is the ultimate football dip! This easy appetizer loaded with cheese, beer, black beans, tomatoes and sausage is our family's favorite tailgating recipe. I often serve it with homemade tortilla chips sprinkled with taco seasoning. —Becky Hardin, St. Peters, Missouri

Ingredients

1/2 pound bulk spicy pork sausage
1 cup pale ale or other light beer
1 package (16 ounces) Velveeta, cubed
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with mild green chiles, undrained
1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
Optional: jalapenos and tortilla or corn chips

Directions

In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, about 5 minutes, crumbling meat. Add beer, cook until reduced slightly, 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add Velveeta, pepper jack cheese and seasonings; stir occasionally until melted. When melted, stir in tomatoes, beans, and cilantro.

If desired, garnish with jalapenos and additional cilantro and serve with tortilla or corn chips.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
