Laredo Supper

Submitted by Lynn Parrish

"My mother used to make this when I was growing up. It can be served with Frito Scoops or spooned over warm corn muffins. It is also great kept warm in a Crock Pot for a party dip. The recipe is very versatile, so have some fun playing with the seasonings and ingredients. Sometimes I add garlic, paprika, or cumin. Sausage works in place of the ground beef, also. Of course, it is always twice as good the second day, if you have any leftover the second day."
