Slow Cooker directions: Place cooked beef, taco seasoning, salsa, Velveeta, and refried beans in the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
Microwave directions: Place cooked beef, taco seasoning, salsa, Velveeta, and refried beans in a microwave-safe dish. Cook on HIGH power until melted, stirring after every minute.
You can substitute ground turkey for ground beef.
Our favorite store-bought salsas are Mateo’s, Kylito’s, Pace Picante Sauce, and Pace Restaurant Style Salsa.
For homemade, I like our Superior Grill Salsa Recipe:
