Cheesy Beef-Corn Chip Skillet

I first started cooking when I got married and I only had so many things I knew how to cook. The one recipe that was quick and was always easy were tacos, and my wife loved them so much she requested them every week. Well needless to say doing this blog has really pulled us out our newly wed recipe rut. But when I saw this recipe that offered something new by adding Velveeta, I had to at least try it. This recipe did not disappoint and is a great alternative to regular old tacos.


Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef (I this recipe twice, once with beef and once with ground turkey. I liked them both.)
1 small onion, chopped
3/4 cup water
1 pkg. Taco Bell Home Originals Taco seasoning
2 cups corn chips
1/4 lb. Velveeta (4 oz.) cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 cups shredded lettuce
2 tomatoes, chopped


Directions:
Brown meat with onions in large skillet; drain. Add water and seasoning mix; cook as directed on package.
Cover meat mixture with chips and Velveeta; cover. Cook on low heat 5 min. or until Velveeta is melted.
Top with lettuce and tomatoes.

Football Snacks!!

Football season has officially begun tonight with the Saints vs. Vikings and I thought it would be appropriate to give mention to a couple of oldie's but goodies. Yup you guessed it, Rotel and Smokey Sausages in BBQ sauce.  Both these dishes seem to be a staple at any football party and for some unknown reason, no party would be complete with out them. I guess one could say their as American as apple pie. So here's to football season, may the best team win!

All you need is a can of Rotel, Velveeta, and a bag of your favorite chips. Dice the Velveeta into chunks, pour the Rotel over the cheese, and microwave till soft.

The wonderful thing about this dish, is it gives you an excuse to eat a large amount of your favorite BBQ sauce, just what I need! I used KC Masterpiece Honey BBQ sauce and one package of Smokey Sausages, it made served 4 people.
