Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb ground beef or ground venison
1 lb bacon, chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
2 clove garlic, minced
1 qt salsa (mild, moderate or hot--your choice)
1 c milk
1 box Velveeta cheese, cubed (2 pound box)
1 can(s) black olives, chopped
1 bottle green olives, chopped
1 can(s) diced green chilies

Steps:

1. Brown ground beef, chopped bacon, onion and garlic together until done. Drain well. Sprinkle meat mixture with taco seasoning and stir. Put a liner in a 5 quart crock pot. I always use a crock pot liner as I hate cleaning cooked-on cheese out of my crock pot. If you don't use a liner, spray the crock pot well with non-stick spray before adding beef mixture. Dump beef mixture into crock pot. Set temperature at low.
2. Add in the quart of chunky salsa and stir. I generally use mild or moderate but if you like it fiery, use hot. Stir in the black and green olives, diced green chilies, milk and cubed Velveeta. Let cook on low for at least an hour, stirring occasionally. Turn crock pot down to keep warm setting and serve.
