Ingredients

• 1 pound Cooked beef brisket
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 1 medium Jalapeño, chopped
• 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 small Onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Shred or chop the cooked beef brisket into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 3

Add the heavy cream to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the cream cheese in chunks and stir until melted and well combined.

Step 4

Once the cream cheese is incorporated, gradually add the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, stirring continuously until you have a smooth cheese sauce.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Step 6

Add the chopped brisket to the cheese mixture and gently fold in until the brisket is evenly distributed throughout the dip.

Step 7

If desired, add hot sauce to taste for a spicier dip.

Step 8

Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Serve the brisket queso hot in a bowl with keto-friendly dippers such as pork rinds, sliced cucumbers, or bell pepper strips.
