ARCHIE DIP - Eric Downie and Ken Reinhardt

1-Lb. Box of Velveeta
1 Lb. Ground Beef (Eric likes to use sirloin)
1/4 Cup Taco Sauce
1 Can Hormel Chili (no bean)
Large Bag Frito-Lay Scoops

Cut Velveeta into one-inch squares and put them into microwave safe casserole dish.  Cook and chop ground beef.  Chop Chop Chop.  I like to chop it into very small pieces.  Drain the beef.  Add the Hormel to the beef.  Chop some more.  Add the taco sauce to the mixture.  Stir.  Nuke the Velveeta at about half power, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.  Add the meat mixture to the cheese, stirring until everything is blended.  Open the bag of Scoops and test the mix.

There are lots of variations to this recipe.  I like to use 1/2 cup of spicy salsa instead of the taco sauce.  I also like to add an assortment of chopped peppers to the beef.  Make sure the peppers are finely chopped.  You can add Tabasco or any good hot sauce, Dave's for instance.

One basic rule to follow:  If you are fixing it for a group of Off-Road, NASCAR or Sprint-car people, make it hot, play with it, have fun!
