Football Season must have Nacho Cheese Dip Recipe.

Wait before I start this or you leave thinking you already have this recipe trust me my few secrets will take this from just normal to absolutely addicting. Also before we go any further let me add this disclaimer: if you are on a diet or into health food this recipe is probably not for you!

So lets start with what you will need. The recipe I'll be giving is for about four people so if your having the gang over for the big game you'll want to at least double it.

• 1 lb Ground beef ( I prefer the 85/15 lean) and using this I do not drain the beef.

• 1 16 oz jar of Salsa ( if you like hot like me use Hot Picante instead I've found the picante to be hotter than the hot salsa if you don't do hot use medium or mild)

• A box of soft cheese like Velveeta ( I use and prefer whatever generic brand the store carries. I have found unlike they advertise Velveeta seems to separate more than the cheaper kind)

• A packet of Taco Seasoning ( and this is one of the secrets I have not seen anyone else use)

• A Family size bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos ( I love it cheesy needless to say and this is the other secret I don't see many do. If you do not like that much cheese use just regular tortilla chips)

Note: Some people use a double boiler system for this but I have found this to be a big mess, that the flavors don't blend as well and that in a good non stick skillet and with the method I use I have no problems with the cheese melting)

Start off by browning the ground beef in about a two quart non stick sauce pan. When done you can drain if you wish or if you used less lean beef. Then return in pan to stove and reduce to medium-low heat and add only about half the packet of taco seasoning  (I just add it dry without adding any water) and cook stirring in the seasoning for about two minutes giving the meat time to soak up the seasoning. Next pour in the whole jar of Picante or Salsa stirring as you add. Then with a cheese slicer or knife begin slicing about half inch slices of cheese and add each one as you go. Do this until you've added about half the block of cheese. And occasionally stir until cheese is melted and blended in.

Note: adding the picante/salsa first is a must for this recipe as it helps the cheese to melt. Once the cheese is melted all you need is some plates and soup size bowls and your chips.

If your preparing this ahead of time or to take to say a carry in at work simply pour it into a slow cooker and set it to low.

So there you go I started off making this like others without the taco seasoning or Doritos. But once I tried it this way it's the only way to go and everyone who's tried it agrees.
