Mom's Not So Famous {But Should Be} Queso-ish Dip

Ok, I have a confession...I love chips...and salsa...and cheese.  Back when I was in high school, my mom started making the perfect thing to satisfy my chip/salsa/cheese craving.  It is just called "dip" in our house but it makes it appearance by the vat-ful each and every year (usually several times).  Now, sure, everyone and their brother has a queso dip recipe BUT this one is the best.  Why?  Because my mom made it!  Seriously, it is just that good!

There are a lot of New Year's parties coming up so I thought it would be fun to share the dip recipe with you guys!  Usually, my mom makes a double or triple batch but I've cut it down to what I consider a single size which still serves a lot!
First, what will you need?

• 1 lb ground beef, ground turkey or ground Italian sausage (even better, mix it up and do some beef/turkey with sausage)
• 2 jars salsa (pick your heat...I usually do one mild + 1 hot)
• 2 jars queso cheese (I prefer Tostitos but any brand will do)
• 1 can Bush's chili magic Traditional Recipe beans
• 1 can Bush's Best Chili Beans (pick your heat!)

Ok, now for the instructions.  Read on carefully...it's super hard easy!

1. Brown the meat. Drain.
2. In a crockpot or large pot, add meat and then dump all the rest of the ingredients on top.
3. Stir.
4. Heat until hot.
5. Serve with chips.

Yeah, couldn't be easier or tastier!  Seriously...make it for your next party and see if people aren't practically scraping the bowl!
