Crockpot Beef Nacho Dip

                                                                         

                                                                                       
This dip is delicious! It made a huge crockpot full! It served about 35 people! We went through 4 family sized bags of tortilla chips! It is beefy, cheesy and has refried beans too! Enjoy!


4 Pounds Ground Beef
1 Can 16 Ounce Refried Beans
1 Can 10.5 Ounce Cheddar Cheese Soup
1 Packets of Taco Seasonings
1 Jar 24 Ounce Salsa
3 Pounds Shredded Cheddar Cheese
16 Ounce Sour Cream

In large pot brown the ground beef. Drain very well. Return to the pot. Now add the packets of taco seasonings and the water as per directions. Cook and simmer. Now add everything but the sour cream. Stir and cook until well combined and cheese is melted. Now stir in the sour cream and blend well. I mixed this up the day before and refrigerated overnight. The next day spooned the dip into the crockpot and cook on low 3 hours until everything is hot and melted. If you are using it right away just put in crockpot and cook on low for 1 hour then keep dip on warm. Serve with tortilla chips! Really good! Feel free to cut the recipe in half for smaller groups.
