Hamburger Taco Dip Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chuck
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed through mincer
• 1 can refried beans (I’ve also used regular black beans instead, and mashed them quite a bit)
• ¼ cup smooth taco sauce (I like Taco Bell’s)
• ¼ cup hot or medium salsa, to your taste
• 1 (2¼ ounce) can diced green chilies, optional
• 2 to 4 tablespoons diced jalapeno peppers, optional
• 1 cup shredded Velveeta OR Kraft Mexican Four Cheese, plus 1/2 cup for topping
• Cayenne pepper to taste (I now use Tastefully Simple Fiesta Party Dip seasoning - it is so good!)
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• ¼ cup chopped black olives for topping
• scoop of sour cream for topping

Instructions

1. Brown hamburger and onion in large skillet; drain off any fat.
2. Add remaining ingredients to pan and cook until fully heated.
3. Put dip into crock-pot to keep warm.
4. Garnish top of dip with ½ cup additional cheese and ¼ cup chopped black olives and a scoop of sour cream.
5. Serve warm with tortilla chips.
