I think it makes it taste that much better because it is so fast and easy. You can also cook it in the crock-pot and keep it warm until your guests arrive.
Cook beef in a skillet until brown, drain and set aside. Combine remaining ingredients in large sauce pan over medium-low heat and stir until completely melted. Add in ground beef, stir until blended and pour into your favorite serving bowl. Serve with Tostitos Scoops for best performance :)
