Inspiration from:  Everyone loves a good Nacho's, this is what I came up for my family to enjoy:) Great for parties

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef 1 can chili with beans 8 oz Velvetta cheese	1 1/2 cups Picante Sauce 1/4 Cup Jalapeno's dash of ground cumin

Directions

Brown ground beef in large skillet. Drain grease off.  Add all ingredients to a crock pot and let cook on low for 2 hours.  Stir every 30 mins.

Variations

You may also melt ingredients with cooked ground beef in the micro for 3 mins, stirring every min.  Just not as good.  The longer it cooks, the warmer the jalapeno's get and I love HOT!

Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.  We love Scoopes!!!
