Prep Time 5 hours
Total Time 6 hours
Servings 10

Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 lb. chuck roast
  • Lime juice
  • Red River Ranch Original or your favorite seasoning
  • 2 poblano peppers
  • 2 jalapeno peppers
  • 16 ounce block Monterey jack cheese
  • 16 ounce block Mozzarella cheese
  • 8 ounces Velveeta cheese
  • 1 10 ounce can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilis drained
  • 1, 14 oz. can beef or chicken broth
  • 1 cup crumbled Queso Fresco

Instructions

  • Generously rub lime juice all over the roast. Season with Original seasoning or all-purpose seasoning of your choice to coat. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  • Clean and preheat the smoker/grill to 220 to 240 degrees F.
  • Place the roast on the smoker, shut the lid and smoke for about 4 hours or until fork tender. Remove from the smoker and roughly chop.
  • Tip: this can also be made in a slow cooker on high for about 4 to 5 hours.
  • Heat the grill/smoker to 250 degrees F. To the smoker add 2 handfuls of mesquite wood chips, 2 handfuls of cherry wood and 1 handful of alder chips. Note: you can use any smoke combination you’d like.
  • Place the peppers on the grill and cook until blistered, rotating occasionally. Place in a plastic bag with 1 tablespoon of water to steam for about 10 minutes. Remove from the bag and peel off the skin and discard. Chop the peppers.
  • Cube the monterey, mozzarella, and the velveeta cheeses into chunks and place in a 12 inch Dutch oven or deep foil pan.
  • Add the meat, peppers and Rotel to the Dutch oven or pan. Pour in half can of either chicken or beef broth.
  • Add the dish to the smoker and cook for about 40 minutes.
  • Stir the mixture well and continue cooking another 20 minutes, or until cheese has completely melted, stirring occasionally.
  • Top with Queso Fresco and serve warm.
