Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 250°F. For best results, initially preheat it to 300°F and then adjust to 250°F once you're ready to place the dish inside, as the temperature tends to drop when you open the lid.
  • Brown and fully cook the chorizo, then set it aside.
  • Cut the Velveeta and Mozzarella Cheese into 1-inch cubes.
  • Combine all ingredients in a 13x9 cast iron baking dish or a disposable aluminum pan.
