Ingredients
  

  • ½ pound lean ground beef, cooked and drained of fat
  • 700 grams sharp cheddar, cubed
  • 300 grams mozzarella, cubed
  • 250 grams cream cheese, cubed
  • 1-2 jalapenos, seeded and diced
  • ⅓ cup cold beer
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 6 bacon slices, cooked and chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat BBQ to 350°F (medium heat)
  • Place cooked ground beef, cubed cheddar, mozzarella and cream cheese and jalapeno in a pan.
  • Cover pan with foil wrap
  • Place pan on preheated BBQ
  • Close lid and allow to cook for 5-7 minutes
  • Stir and continue to cook stirring until all cheeses are melted (mixture may be oily on top, that's OK)
  • When cheeses are melted, slowly add cold beer into cheese mixture, stirring constantly, until beer is mixed in
  • Add salsa and bacon.
  • Stir to mix all ingredients together. If oily, stir until oil is mixed back in and no longer visible.
  • Serve warm with tortilla chips

Notes

The oil in the cheese may separate and come to the top while heating. Do not drain the oil off or the mixture will separate. 
Make sure to stir well when adding the beer. This will help mix in the oils from the cheese.
