*CHILI DIP*

Category: Dips - Hot

1 can beef tamales (wrappers removed) mashed with a fork
1 can chili (without beans)
1 can chili hot beans
1 can diced tomatoes & chilies
1 lb Velveeta cheese, chunked
1 large onion diced
1 or 2 fresh tomatoes chopped

Spice to taste - any combination of the following will do:
Fresh diced chili or hot pepper
Cilantro (dried or fresh minced)
Cumin
Hot pepper sauce
Ground black pepper

Mix all ingredients together in your dish or pot and heat until cheese is melted, stirring occasionally. I add a small amount of spices before heating and then add more to taste. (I prefer it spicy.) Serve with tortilla chips. Note: This make a LOT of dip - make it when you are expecting a crowd.
