Crock Pot Queso Dip

Happy Monday! Today we're kicking off Cinco de Mayo week. There's nothing like a good, hearty queso to ring in the holiday. Whenever we go to my favorite Mexican restaurants, I always make sure we order queso. There's something about that gooey, melty delicious cheese dip that has got me addicted. Most of the restaurants we go to serve it with chips or warm tortillas, but you can also try the Melting Pot way by serving it with apples, carrots and bread. Anything you dip into this will be delicious. I mean, you can't really go wrong with cheese dip!

This recipe is great since you can make it in your crockpot, so once everything is cooked and in there, there's really nothing left for you to do. I browned the meat ahead of time so that when I went to go make this all I had to do was throw it all together. Since Cinco de Mayo is on a Thursday this year, I'm sure this will come in handy to a lot of you who have to work all day. Then you can come home to this creamy, meaty queso dip. Whip up a refreshing margarita and you're set!
