So it’s no surprise that I am addicted to chips around this joint. Literally it’s almost the only thing I eat. Well that and macaroni and cheese. Up until now, I had never combined the two together which is probably one of the more disturbing things knowing I have never done. Regrets, we all have em’.
That is until this weekend. With the ACM Awards happening on Sunday night, I knew I would want something that would satisfy both my husband and I (like country singers in tight jeans wouldn’t do that already 😉 ) and so that’s when this recipe made its way into our house.
For starters, it involves a slow cooker. We all know my feelings on slow cookers. I love them. Secondly, it involves Hamburger Helper which is where the macaroni noodles come from in this chip dip. Third, it is delicious. Ask my husband who can’t stop shoveling it into his mouth. Or maybe thats me, whatever.
Like any Hamburger Helper recipe, it is so easy to make so for all of you with little time to spare when hosting friends – I’ve got you covered. It also makes a ton so I mean, loosen those pants and get ready to chow down.
Without further ado, I present to you….macaroni and cheese beer cheese dip. No, life couldn’t get better. Continue.
Ingredients:
Two 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
32 oz Salsa con queso
16 oz prepared cheese product, diced

A dash of onion flakes, garlic powder, and seasoning salt
