Crockpot Taco Dip

Heat a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground beef to the pan and break the meat up into small pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat.

Add the browned meat, refried beans, salsa, and taco seasoning to a 4-6 quart slow cooker. Stir to evenly combine. Top with cheese the cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted (You can also add the cheese the last 10 minutes before serving so it's melty and doesn't harden as it sits).

Serve warm directly from the slow cooker. When ready to serve, add your toppings. Top with tomato, avocado, scallions and chopped cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips and crudités.
