Next week, before everyone is on holiday, we usually get together at work and have a "rolling buffet" of sorts and eat all week! Besides my favorite Spinach and Artichoke dip I also bring others and vary them day by day. I save the hot cheese dip until Friday when we have had our full of sweets.

I know it is simple, and yes it is made with Velveeta cheese and is hardly "gourmet" food, but Gosh I love it. From vegetables, bread, and those little weiners, it makes for a great time !
Sun-Dried Tomato Dip
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese
1 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
3/4 cup plain yogurt
3 TBS chopped fresh chives
3 tsp tabasco sauce
Directions:
Mix all ingredients until well blended. Heat for about 8 minutes in microwave on medium heat, stir well every 2 to 3 minutes. Once cheese is hot and fully melted–it’s ready to serve.

Crockpot Salsa Dip
2 lbs Velveeta cheese
2 lbs hamburger, cooked and drained
1 large jar Salsa (hot is more flavorful, but use your favorite)
1 large onion, finely chopped
Directions:
Set cheese on bottom of crock pot so it will melt first, add the rest on top. Stir as cheese melts, eventually all ingredients will be well blended. Serve when hot. Try with taco/tortilla chips or corn chips.
