    Here's another throwback recipe from my mom's original dot-matrix printed cookbook that eventually became this blog.

    You can serve this in a bread bowl with bread pieces for dipping, or in a chafing dish or crock pot to keep it warm and serve with crackers or chips.

    Beef and Bean Chili Dip Ingredients and Variations

    Ground Beef - or ground pork or turkey. If you want to spice it up, use sausage.

    Kidney Beans - or another canned bean if you prefer such as black beans or pinto beans. Just be sure NOT to drain them, you want the liquid in the recipe.

    Tomato Sauce - the original recipe called for ketchup which sounds way to sweet to me, especially ½ cup. If you want to try it that way, be my guest.

    Cheddar Cheese - cheddar is the quintessential cheese for chili for me, but you could use Monterey or pepper jack as well.

    Other ingredients: onions, chili powder, cumin, salt and cayenne pepper.

      My mother used to make something similar. It was so delicious, but didn't have beans in there! I'm totally making this on Saturday to watch the game with.
