Southwest Fondue With Beef

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 (16-oz.) package pepper-Jack pasteurized prepared cheese product, cubed
• 1 pound processed or deli white American cheese slices, torn
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 2 to 3 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• Garnish: chopped tomato
• Assorted dippers: toasted bread cubes, corn chips, pretzels, thin breadsticks, pita chips

1. Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, 8 to 10 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink; drain.
2. Combine pepper-Jack cheese product, American cheese, and milk in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 8 minutes or until cheese is melted, stirring every 2 minutes. Stir in ground beef, tomatoes, and cilantro. Garnish, if desired. Serve with desired dippers.
3. Note: For testing purposes only, we used Velveeta Pepper Jack for pasteurized prepared cheese product.
