Recipes: Creamed Taco and Guacamole Dip

Warning to any single woman reading the Collard Patch blog: If you have a new man in your life, don't cook this incredibly delicious (and easy-to-prepare) dish for him to watch the Super Bowl! What a mistake you would make!

Here's the reason: Creamed Taco is perfect food. If you cook something this good, he will think something terrible is wrong with you because he will wonder why some woman who can cook something this delicious is hanging around him. He will conclude that he has failed to see your imperfections that have prevented some other guy from pinning you down with a rock so big you cannot lift your ring finger. Otherwise, why would you be available?

½ pound regular Velveeta® cheese product, cubed
½ pound Mexican Velveeta® cheese product, cubed
½ pint whipping cream

Place the meat in the bottom of a four-quart pan or crockery cooker. Dump all the other ingredients (except the chips, of course) on top. Cook at very low heat until the cheese melts.

Serve over the corn chips in bowls.

Thanks, T. C.
You may want to add some crushed red pepper to this recipe. We are spicemouths at our house, and therefore we require extra hot seasonings.
