Fun with Velveeta

We had an engagement party on Sunday for my sweet friend Kendall and her fiancé, Robert.  It was a very casual backyard cocktail party, and we had a blast.  Since we had gotten back from Disney World the night before, I didn’t have a whole lot of time to get ready for the party, especially losing an hour thanks to daylight savings.  My friend Patricia and I were throwing the party together- she was bringing half of the food, and I was making the other half, which included a bread wreath and brie, veggies and ranch dressing dip, spanakopita, cheesecake strawberries, and a spicy sausage queso dip.  My darling angel Walker was the best helper.  He decorated the backyard with streamers and flags and pretty much every other party decoration he could find at the Dollar Tree.

I was browning the meat for the queso dip on the stove and hollowing out the strawberries, and Walker wanted to help, so I asked him to cut up the big block of Velveeta into little squares to put in the crock pot.  This is the easiest recipe ever- big block of Velveeta, 1 lb of ground beef browned on the stove and then drained, 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes- put in the crock pot until melty cheesy goodness, and serve with Fritos.  So, I finished browning and draining the meat and took it over to the crock pot where Walker had cut up about 3/4 of the Velveeta, and the rest he made into a cheese family watching TV.  This was just too funny not to share!
