Spicy Campfire Queso
featured in Must Try Camping Hacks And Recipes
Katie goes camping with her husband and brings this delicious and spicy queso to enjoy as an appetizer while they make their dinner. If you don’t like spice, omit the jalapeño and use cheddar cheese cheese instead of pepper Jack. If making while camping, cook the chorizo ahead of time and store in a cooler until ready to assemble.
