Superbowl Dip (or PMS dip...there really isn't a need to label it!)

Hamburger Dip

24 unwrapped slices of Kraft cheese (do not worry, no cows were involved in the making of this recipe!) ;)
1 lb. hamburger, browned and drained
1 can Rotel tomatoes

Melt together in a crock pot on low until gooey and yummy. Serve with corn chips. Or skip the chips and grab a spoon. Share, if you are nice. :)

This is from Pam McNutt. I loved sleep over nights at their house while growing up. Her kitchen always had yummy treats for us to share.
