Lower Carb Game Day Dip

 

This dip is unbelievably awesome...after many tweaks and variations, this is the final product!

 

This recipe cordially serves about 10-12 people or more depending on what else you serve...I usually double it.

 

1. Finely chopped fresh garlic (4 pieces off one clove)

 

2. 2lbs. 93% Ground Beef (or if you want to kick it up a notch try Hormel's Hot Pork Sausage)

 

3. Mexican Velveeta Bricks - 2 large ones.

 

4. Original Refried Beans - 2 large cans.

 

5. 1 small sweet yellow onion or vidalia onion finely chopped.

 

6. 2 cans Rotel diced tomatoes (w/peppers) drained.

 

7. Large Crock Pot, 12" Skillet, collander (strainer for the guys) and Large Microwavable Glass Bowl.

 

8. Real Salted Butter 1 Tablespoon

 

9. (optional) 1/2 cup diced jalepeno or habenero peppers. <-- not recommended with new people around

 

*****************************************

 

On medium heat - melt butter in skillet - add garlic and onions - cook (I caramelize them) to your liking.

 

Add hamburger (or if you're brave the hot sausage) and mix well - brown until done and set aside to drain in the collander (strainer).

 

In a large glass bowl dump in 1 can refried beans and 1 container of cubed velveeta and mix.

 

Microwave beans & velveeta for 2 minutes on HIGH, stir and put on HIGH for 3 minutes, stir (should be good)if not - put in for 1 more minute (time will depend on wattage of MW)

 

Dump into crock pot (set on low or about 140-145°F if you have temp control)

 

REPEAT with other can of beans & other velveeta

 

Open tomato cans and DRAIN THE JUICE, then add to crockpot and stir in

 

Add hamburger mixture to crockpot and mix in well.

 

If you want to kick it up a notch - add the jalepeno or habenero peppers at this point.

 

Salt to your taste.

 

You can taste it right now, cant you? Serve with your favorite tortilla chips - It saves really well too in any tupperware for about a week or so - so give it a try!

 

If you make it, post your pics here! Thanks and enjoy. Go Huskers!
