Cheesy Taco Dip - Ground Beef Crock Pot Recipes

1 pound lean ground beef
1 envelope (1.25 ounce) taco seasoning mix
1 can (16 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1 loaf (1 pound) processed cheese, such as Velveeta, shredded
3/4 cup water

Heat a large skillet and brown the ground beef. Drain the fat and add the taco seasoning mix and the water. Bring the skillet to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Transfer the seasoned beef to a crock pot.

Add the shredded Velveeta and the crushed tomatoes to the crock pot. Cover the pot and cook on low for 1 hour or until the cheese is melted. Stir before serving.

Food For Thought - To make a slightly chunkier dip, add a carton of fresh salsa, mild or hot, 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

Good To Know - This recipe is easily doubled - just follow the instructions above. You may need to cook the dip a little longer.

On Your Own - This dip is usually served with tortilla chips, but you can use crackers or any other chips you prefer. Make a platter of various chips, and add small bowls of sour cream and guacamole for tasty garnishes.
