Queso gets the barbecue treatment in Goodtaste with Tanji's episode: DIY Smoked Brisket Queso, where The Original Black's Barbecue shows how to take this Texas favorite to the next level.
This isn't your typical queso dip. Instead of starting in a pot, the ingredients begin in the smoker.
"To get as much smoked flavor as we can, we begin by smoking the initial ingredients," says Barrett Black, fourth-generation pitmaster. That first step makes all the difference, layering in a depth of flavor you won't get from a stovetop version.
The featured recipe uses Black's smoked sausage, removed from the casing and broken up, to add savory richness to the melted cheese. Don't have sausage? Leftover brisket works just as well.
This queso is built for sharing—perfect for game day, backyard parties, or family nights. It's simple to put together, loaded with smoky flavor, and guaranteed to be the first thing gone from the table.
Rich, creamy, and packed with just the right amount of spice, this dip is flat-out delicious. Whether you're scooping it with chips or piling it onto a plate, every bite delivers bold Texas flavor.
