INGREDIENTS
1 Pound hot pork sausage
1 (2 lb) block of Velveeta cheese, cut into 5-6 large pieces
1 Pound smoked Gouda cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 Can (10 oz) RO*TEL Original Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies
1 Can (10 oz) RO*TEL Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies
1 Can (10 oz) can of cream of mushroom soup
4 Tablespoon Traeger Coffee Rub
1/2 Cup chopped fresh cilantro
Tortilla chips, for serving
STEPS
1
Heat a medium cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the pork sausage and cook, breaking into small chunks, until no longer pink. Remove the sausage from the pan.
2
When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 350°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
3
In a 4-5-quart cast iron Dutch oven or another oven-safe dish, combine the Velveeta and smoked Gouda. Add the RO*TEL original and fire-roasted tomatoes, the cream of mushroom soup, cooked sausage, and Traeger Coffee Rub.
4
Set the Dutch oven on the grill grates. Close the lid and smoke the queso, stirring 3-4 times, until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined, about 45 minutes. Add most of the cilantro during the last 5 minutes of smoking.
5
Sprinkle the remaining cilantro on the top of the queso, then serve with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy!

Crispy Fish Street Tacos cooked on the Blackstone griddle are the perfect way to spice up taco night! With golden, crunchy fish, fresh toppings, and zesty sauce in a warm tortilla, they’re bursting with bold flavor in every bite. Servings 4 Prep Time 10 minutes Cook Time 10 minutes Ingredients 1 pound fresh fish (cut into bite-sized pieces) 2 cups Panko bread crumbs 4 eggs (whisked) Blackstone Tequila Lime seasoning (to taste) Add To Cart Cooking oil (for the griddle) 8 street taco-size flour tortillas Queso fresco or cotija cheese (crumbled) 1 lime (juiced) Mexican crema (for drizzling) Hot sauce (optional) Fresh cilantro (chopped) Directions 1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to low heat. 2. In a bowl, combine the Panko bread crumbs with a generous amount of Tequila Lime seasoning. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Dip each piece of fish into the whisked eggs, ensuring they are fully coated, then roll them in the seasoned Panko mixture until covered. 4. Drizzle cooking oil onto the griddle. Place the breaded fish on the griddle and cook for about 5–6 minutes, flipping frequently until all sides are golden brown and the fish is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside. 5. Warm the tortillas by placing them on the griddle for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Be careful not to let them crisp up unless you prefer a crunchier texture. 6. Assemble the tacos by placing some crispy fish pieces in each tortilla. Sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco, squeeze fresh lime juice on top, and drizzle with Mexican crema. Add hot sauce if you like some heat, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy! click here to check out our blackstone lineup!!!!!

These party ribs are packed with flavor worth celebrating. This recipe is a cross between ribs and burnt ends—giving you deep, sweet flavor with crispy caramelized edges. The secret is cooking the ribs individually on your pellet grill for faster cooking—about half the time of regular rib racks. They’re also easier to serve as finger food at, you guessed it, a party.
