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.
350 ˚F / 177 ˚C
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.

Buffalo Wings

These spicy buffalo wings are the #1 seed for a reason. The tangy-spice of the buffalo sauce combined with fall-off-the-bone wood-fired flavor makes a classic even better. If you like your sauce super hot, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne.
