Crock Pot Taco Dip

Stacky5's Note:

This is very simple to make, but very flavorful with a Tex-Mex flair. Great to take to potlucks along with a bag of nacho cheese tortilla chips...

This was a life saver. I had to bring something for a potluck and this was just the ticket. Easy and good. Thanks for sharing.

We had this as part of a Sunday night dinner. It was a big hit. I have tried a bunch of these Veleveeta dips and I think this is my all time favorite. I did forget to add the sour cream. It came together very quickly because I had some browned beef in the freezer. I just put the frozen beef in a saucepan with the onions and garlic. After a few minutes I added the rest of the ingredients and kept on medium low until it was all heated through. I will make this again.
