With the weather turning cooler, this seemed like a great recipe to share. Thanks, Lori Anne!

Chili-Cheese Dip (Homemade)

1 lb. of ground beef
1 - 16oz. block of Mild (or Hot) Velveeta cheese
1 - 16oz. can of Bush's Chili Beans
1 - 14.5oz. can of Mild Rotel Diced tomatoes (w/chilies)
1/2 pkg of Taco Bell taco powder
1/2 pkg of McCormick's Mild chili powder
salt & pepper to add taste

Brown your ground beef; then, drain. While beef is browning - combine cheese, beans, and tomatoes in a saucepan on low heat (otherwise the cheese will start to stick to the bottom of the pan). Once your beef is done and drained, wait until your cheese is about melted then add the beef. Stir it in really good, then add the taco & chili powders, and stir good again.

That's it! Dig in! Oh...I've discovered that Tostitos new Hint of Jalapeno chips go really well with this dip...or you can use the standard Tortilla chips.

Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day! :)
