Steps

30 mins

1

Brown ground beef, adding salt and pepper to taste. Drain fat.
2

Add taco seasonings as per package directions.
3

While seasoned beef is simmering, pour jars of cheese sauce into saucepan. (I usually swirl a bit of milk in jars to get remainder of sauce out.)
4

Add rotel to cheese sauce. Draining rotel will leave sauce thicker, not draining will make sauce a bit thinner, but spicier.
5

Stir sauce and heat over low /medium heat, stirring occasionally so sauce doesn't stick or scorch, until heated through.
6

Once both beef and cheese are done, it's time to build individual plates.
7

Place a layer of chips on a plate, add seasoned beef sprinkled evenly over chips.
8

Ladle cheese sauce over all, as much or as little as each person cares for.
9

Add optional toppings as desired.

Enjoy!

This recipe is simple yet versatile. I have also used chicken, shrimp, imitation crab, even shredded pork. The only limit to the ingredients are your imagination.
