We make smoked queso for parties and gatherings, and we hardly ever make it the same way twice. That's the fun of smoked queso. It's a recipe that you can play with, substitute out things, add things, and it's going to taste amazing.
Brown the sausage, onion, and red bell pepper in a saute pan on the stove. Drain grease if necessary.
Cube the block of Velveeta and cream cheese and place them in the aluminum foil pan.
Add the cooked sausage and vegetable blend and all remaining ingredients into the pan. You don't even need to stir.
Place on the smoker running around 350° for about 15 minutes.
Stir the queso up and leave for another 15 minutes.
Stir one more time and leave for an additional 10-15 minutes. The heat may be reduced to 275° if necessary to avoid burning cheese on the bottom of the pan.
Stir the queso up and confirm that all the cheese is in fact melted. Then enjoy!

Notes
The above recipe has been created kid-friendly (not-spicy). If you prefer your queso to be hot and spicy, by all means go ahead and add jalapenos to the pan as well!
