MAX’S ALASKA ‘WILD-GAME-DAY’ HOT CHILI BEAN and CHEESE DIP

Max generally makes this recipe using lean venison 
or moose burger, although last night he used 
lean buffalo burger and it was simply scrumptious. 
This was like a meal in itself and a perfect 
appetizer to munch on 
while watching the baseball playoffs...

Servings: (6 to 8)

Prep/Cook: 20 Mins.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. lean venison burger
--(Also just as tasty to use moose, buffalo, or beef)
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (15 oz. can) Nalleys Original Chili with Beans
1 (16 oz. jar) medium picante sauce
1 (1-lb. pkg.) velveeta cheese, cut into four blocks
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
--(Max says, “go light on the salt”)
2 (9.25 oz. pkgs.) Fritos Scoop Corn Chips

METHOD

Heat a large nonstick skillet to medium-high heat and brown the burger with the garlic powder. Add the chili with beans, picante sauce, and velveeta cheese, and gently stir until cheese has melted and dip is combined and creamy. Taste for seasonings, adding kosher salt and ground pepper, to taste. Spoon hot dip into a heatproof bowl, then place the Frito chips in another bowl close by, and serve immediately with many napkins! Enjoy!

Tip: This hot dip would also be wonderful served in a slow cooker to it keep warm during game day for your guests.
