Crock Pot Beef Queso is perfect for game day

The ground beef needs to be browned in a pan before it is added to the crock pot, but besides that, all the ingredients just get dumped in the crock pot and cooked on LOW for 3 hours.

Be sure to buy a huge bag of tortilla chips, maybe two. This Crock Pot Beef Queso is a real crowd pleaser.
