Brown meat on the stove-top in a medium sized skillet, or in the slow cooker if your slow cooker has a browning option. Drain the grease. Add meat to slow cooker if using a skillet.
Add the refried beans, 2/3 of the cheese, chiles, cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning. Stir everything together and flatten out with a spatula. Wipe down edges of slow cooker for a neat appearance.
Sprinkle over remaining cheese.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
Serve with chips and additional sour cream, olives and salsa if desired.
Enjoy!

Notes
Can I skip adding the ground beef?Yes, this Texas Trash Dip is often served without ground beef. Without the meat, you have an excellent vegetarian meal.Can I use chicken instead of beef?Yes, chicken will work great in this dip. Add 2 cups of cooked diced chicken; rotisserie chicken works well.Can I bake this instead of slow cooking?You can bake the dip at 350° degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve immediately with chips.
