Crock-Pot Cheese Dip With Ground Beef

Submitted by AmyZoe

"I found this recipe at about.com/Southern Food when I was searching for a variation on the traditional velveeta and rotel holiday dip. I didn't have cream of mushroom, so I substituted cream of chicken. This is really YUMMY, and it's easy to carry in the crockpot to your holiday gathering."
