Fiesta Nacho Dip Yield: About 4 cups 1 lb. ground beef

2 tablespoons instant minced onion

1 (8 oz.) bottle hot taco sauce (about 3/4 cup)

1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chilies

1 (16 oz.) can refried beans

1(8 oz.) carton guacamole dip or dairy sour cream 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1.Combine ground beef and onion in 1 1/2-quart casserole. Cook, covered, on full power for 3 to 5 minutes, or until beef is no longer pink. Stir halfway through cooking time. Drain. Stir in taco sauce and chilies. Set aside.

2.Spread beans on 12-inch round glass platter. Spread meat mixture over beans. Heat on full power for 4 to 6 minutes, or until heated through.

3.Spread guacamole dip over meat. Sprinkle with cheese evenly over top. Heat on full power for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until cheese begins to melt. Serve warm.

Micro-tip: Garnish with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, tortilla chips, guacamole sauce, sour cream, and snipped green onion tops, if desired. Serve as dip with tortilla chips.

Beverages Heating Guidelines

1.Hot tap water boils faster than cold. Refrigerator-temperature beverages require a longer heating or reheating time than room- temperature beverages. Adjust times accordingly.

2.If heating several individual servings, consider heating in a pitcher, rather than in individual cups. Try defrosting juice in a serving dish.

3.To avoid boil-overs, only fill a cup 2/3 to 3/4 full. Most coffee cups are 6-ounce cups.

4.Always stir a beverage vigorously before reheating.

Instant Hot chocolate Mix

Yield: 1 gallon mix

10 2/3 cups nonfat dry milk (enough to make 8 quarts of milk)

1/2 cup (or 6 oz. jar) powdered nondairy coffee creamer

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1 lb. quick chocolate flavored mix Water

5.Milk should not be allowed to boil. Heat milk until it is just warmed. If desired, add marshmallows to a cup of hot chocolate halfway

through heating time. Marshmallows will melt just the right amount.

6 When reheating coffee and tea, for best taste, do not allow to boil. Most reheated beverages taste better when reheated to almost boiling.

7.Always add instant coffee or tea to hot water to avoid bitter flavor and boil-overs. Water will not boil over as easily as premixed coffee and tea.

1.Combine all ingredients, except water, in large mixing bowl. (Mix may be stored in airtight 1- gallon container.)

2.Place 1/4 cup mixture in serving mug. Fill with water. Stir to blend. Heat on full power for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until heated through.
