1

Preheat the smoker to 225°F (107°C).

2

In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, diced pepper jack cheese, Velveeta cheese, chopped white onion, chopped jalapeños, chopped green onion, Rotel (with juices), and cream of chicken soup.

3

Mix all ingredients together until well combined.

4

Transfer the mixture to a suitable smoker-safe container (not a foil pan due to depth).

5

Place the container in the smoker and close the lid.

6

Stir the mixture every 15 to 20 minutes for about 1 hour.

7

After 40 minutes, check the mixture; it should be melting but not fully creamy yet.

8

Add milk to the mixture to achieve a desired saucy consistency, stirring it in well.

9

Continue to smoke for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, checking for desired thickness before removing from the smoker.

10

Once finished, remove from the smoker and serve warm.
