Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1/2 onion, peeled and chopped

2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

1 packet (1.25 ounces) taco seasoning

2/3 cup water

32 ounces processed American cheese (Velveeta), cubed

Directions

In a wide pan over medium heat, add ground beef and cook, breaking apart with the back of a spoon, until no longer pink and begins to release fat.

Add onions and garlic. Continue to cook until softened and beef is lightly browned. Drain excess grease.

Add taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook for about 10 minutes or until beef is cooked and liquid is mostly reduced.

Transfer taco meat to a 2-qt slow cooker. Add cubed cheese, diced green chilies, and diced jalapenos.

Cover and cook on HIGH for about 1 to 2 hours or on LOW for about 3 to 4 hours.

Stir to distribute. To serve, keep in the crockpot at the warm setting.
