Just wanted to share my Taco Dip here for anyone who may need something cheap, quick, and easy to take to a party or just to devour yourself! It’s always a crowd pleaser. 😋 🌮
Brown 2 pounds of ground beef then add 2 packets of taco seasoning and make according to directions.
Layer taco meat in the bottom of a pan and let chill in the fridge for at least an hour. You want it nice and cold so the sour cream layer doesn’t rip the meat up.
After chilled do a layer of sour cream, 24oz container. Then a layer of salsa, 2 jars. Then finally a layer of shredded cheese, I used sharp cheddar, 2 8oz bags.
Place back in the fridge to settle for an hour or so and then serve with Tostitos chips! Enjoy! 🙂

I'm always looking for easy recipes!
Well I found one that I love..
Its supposed to have chicken in it, but I opted not to make it with chicken.
**One box of penne pasta (the final pic is of one cup of pasta as I was debating with only using the half of block of Velveeta... gotta save my Velveeta as its hard to find it where I'm at)
**Can of rotel
**Can of cream of mushroom soup
** garlic powder
**Pound of Velveeta (now, I only did half).
Cook noodles like normal.
Add the soup, rotel and Velveeta in a pan with a 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and blend together.
Once pasta is done, drain water and combine.
Super easy.
I love how cheesy and creamy it is!! I will definitely make this again!

Beefy potato chowder is easy to make and you have leftovers which taste even better the next day. I browned ground beef and added diced fresh potatoes. I used diced onions, bell pepper, and minced garlic with salt, pepper, lemon pepper, basil, thyme and steak seasoning to flavor the meat. I added water and let the potatoes cook until soft and the water cooked down. I added shredded cheese (Colby Jack but any kind will work) and two cups of heavy whipping cream and let it simmer until thickened.
