Notes
For added flavor, consider adding a small diced onion or a minced garlic clove when browning the beef. If you prefer a spicier dip, use a can of hot Rotel tomatoes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. To keep the dip warm during a party, consider transferring it to a slow cooker on the "warm" setting.
