CROCKPOT COOKING TIPS: Every slow cooker heats a little differently, so cooking times can vary. Once you know how your crock pot runs (hotter or cooler), you can adjust as needed.

TIPS: Cook and drain the chorizo well to prevent excess grease, use evaporated milk instead of regular milk for a creamier and more stable queso, and keep the slow cooker on warm for serving with an occasional stir.

VARIATIONS: Swap green chiles for fire-roasted chiles for deeper flavor, add a pinch of cumin or garlic powder for warmth, or stir in a splash of pickled jalapeño brine for extra tang.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve warm with tortilla chips, drizzle over nachos or fries, spoon onto burrito bowls, or use as a melty topping for grilled chicken or roasted vegetables.
