Ingredients

8 servings

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 lbs velveeta, cut into 1-inch cubes
8 oz pepper jack cheese, shredded
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as rotel), undrained
Ingredient notes
A serving of up to about half a cup of diced tomatoes with green chilies is low in fructose. This recipe contains only about 2 1/2 tablespoons per serving, making it likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid diced tomatoes with green chilies, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Tomatoes carry a little excess fructose that a low fructose diet watches in larger servings; the small amount used here keeps the fructose load low, so it is likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid rotel tomatoes with green chili, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles, undrained
4 oz cream cheese, cut into chunks
½ cup whole milk
2 jalapeños, thinly sliced (optional)
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about one small jalapeño is low in fructose. This recipe contains only about 1/4 of a jalapeno per serving, making it likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid jalapeño, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For serving

tortilla chips, for serving
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) using hickory, pecan, or applewood chips.
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small crumbles, until no pink remains and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), about 7–9 minutes. Drain off excess fat.
