Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Cooked beef brisket
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Jalapeño, chopped
- 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Shred or chop the cooked beef brisket into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the heavy cream to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the cream cheese in chunks and stir until melted and well combined.
Once the cream cheese is incorporated, gradually add the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, stirring continuously until you have a smooth cheese sauce.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Add the chopped brisket to the cheese mixture and gently fold in until the brisket is evenly distributed throughout the dip.
If desired, add hot sauce to taste for a spicier dip.
Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
Serve the brisket queso hot in a bowl with keto-friendly dippers such as pork rinds, sliced cucumbers, or bell pepper strips.
