Elk Queso

I actually nicknamed this recipe “SuperBull Queso Dip” because I wrote it with the Super Bowl in mind and thought it was a fun play on words since we’re using elk meat. You can actually swap elk, for deer, bear, moose, or any kind of red meat you have in your freezer. This dip is great for any event and for introducing friends to wild game. Seriously, everyone will be digging in and you won’t have any leftovers. While it has a few more ingredients than the typical no name fake cheeses dip, the extra ingredients are so worth it because you get an incredible unmatched rich flavor. Paired with tortilla chips, this is the ultimate wild game dip.

  • Author: Jenn Homa
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 3 hours
  • Total Time: 3 hours, 10 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Ground Elk
  • Salt and Black Pepper
  • ½ cup Diced Red Onion
  • 2 cans Rotel
  • 1 can Corn, Drained
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese, Cubed
  • 1 (8 ounce) Block Cheddar Cheese, Shredded or Cubed
  • 1 (8 ounce) Block Monterey Jack Cheese, Shredded or Cubed
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Cilantro, To Garnish (Optional)
  • Tortilla Chips, For Serving

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat add in ground elk and cook it until it’s browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any fat if needed then season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and remove from heat.
  2. Transfer brown ground venison to a slow cooker. Then add in diced red onion, Rotel, corn, cubed cream cheese, shredded/cubed cheeses, milk, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin. Cover with the lid and heat on low for 3-4 hours, stirring the dip a few times during the cook time. Make sure to get the sides while stirring.
  3. Reduce heat to warm and garnish with cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

Keep it Warm. Set the slow cooker to the warm setting to serve during your party and the queso will stay perfectly creamy and dip-able.

Skip the Pre-Shredded Cheese. Pre-shredded cheese may be coated in cornstarch or other anti-caking agents that will change the consistency of your queso, usually making it too thick.

Reheat. Reheat leftover queso in the crockpot on low, or in a pot on low, stirring every 10-15 minutes. The consistency may change once it’s refrigerated so you may need to add an additional milk when reheating the dip.

Store. Leftover queso dip can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Add additional milk as needed when heating it back up.

Freeze. Dip can be frozen for up to 6 months in a freezer-safe container. Just be sure to thaw completely before reheating and add more milk when reheated if needed.
