How to cook Cowboy Queso

1. In a large cast iron skillet, over medium-high heat, brown and crumble the ground beef, season with salt and pepper. Add in the diced onions. When almost browned, season with cumin powder and chili powder. 
2. Once browned, drain excess grease (if there is any), add in the crushed red pepper flakes and the beer. Let the beer reduce for about 5 minutes.
3. Add in the Velveeta cheese a few cubes at a time, once some of the cheese has melted, add in the rest of the cheese. Once all the Velveeta has melted stir in the peperjack cheese.
4. Once the pepperjack cheese is melted add in the cilantro, and beans.  Add in the partially drained rotel. You can adjust how much liquid from the Rotel you want to add depending on the thickness of the queso.
5. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!

Notes:

After done cooking this can be served either from the skillet, or for parties you can place in crockpot on warm You can also add corn to the queso
