MEXICAN CHILI CHEESE DIP (TEX-MEX)



Mexican Chili Cheese Dip (Tex-Mex) image

This delicious, yet very easy dip has been a hit at every party I've prepared it for. It's so good, we'll make a batch and have it for dinner every so often. People have told me it's addictive. I rarely have to bring any home after a party. I've been making this dip for many years, so I'm not sure where it came from. When making it for my family, I use refried beans with jalapenos, hot McCormick Taco Seasoning mix, and velveta cheese with peppers. This combines for quite a kick. For guests or a party, I use reqular refried beans and velveta, but the hot taco seasoning is a must. For Christmas parties, I use the red and green tortilla chips.

Time 20m

Yield 20-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (15 ounce) can hot hormel chili with beans
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 lb ground beef
16 ounces Velveeta cheese
10 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
2 (16 ounce) bags corn tortilla chips

Steps:

  • In a deep pan, brown ground beef, drain and return to the pan. Add Taco seasoning and prepare according to seasoning instructions.
  • Add Hormel Chili and refried beans.
  • When hot, add the velveta. It helps to cut it up into chunks. Once melted, add the grated cheese. Once all hot and melted together, transfer to a crock pot. Serve with chips and stand back. I write the recipe on recipe cards and take them to the party with me, because I know I'm going to be asked for the recipe.
