Easy Texas Queso con Carne
This is a quick and easy recipe for a great cheese dip. This dip goes great with tortilla chips as an appetizer, or you can have it as a side with most any Mexican food dish. Also, this is a great dish for the crock pot if you want to take it on the road for a tailgate party! I have posted another recipe for a similar dip but it is much more authentic tasting, you can find it under "Texas Queso con Carne"
