Cheesy Beef Taco Dip

Try this recipe for a warm, hearty snack with a bit of a kick. It's a hit with my family, and guests rave about it, too. Ideal for parties, it makes a big potful. The only "utensil" you'll need to serve it with is a brimming bowl of tortilla chips.

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium green pepper, finely chopped
• 1 pound Velveeta, cubed
• 1/2 tsp Redstone I LOVE Garlic Spice Blend
• 1 tsp Redstone Cilantro Roasted Onion Olive Oil
• 1 pound pepper jack cheese, cubed
• 1 jar (16 ounces) taco sauce
• 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles, drained
• 1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained and chopped
• 1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
• Tortilla chips

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, cook the beef in the cilantro olive oil, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
2. Stir in the cheeses, garlic spice blend, taco sauce, tomatoes, mushrooms and olives. Cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted.
3. Serve warm with tortilla chips.
