Intro:  Finger Lickin’ Good - You can read about Christ feeding the 5,000 in many places in the Bible (Matthew14:19;15:36; Luke 5:6;9:3-17). I am a fairly new Christian and one of the many things I love about reading the accounts of Jesus’ miracles, is that there was not a big drum roll, fireworks, a thousand dollar suit or an agent building up some big preview of what was about to happen.  Jesus would calmly say things such as “have faith”, “believe”, “have them sit and pass out these loaves of bread”, and then the miracles began. 

Assignment: Although I am not able to produce miracles, it sometimes feels like I need to when it comes to meal time.  There are times when money is tight, groceries are few and I have to feed my family.  During the holiday season, you might have so much going on that you need to make a meal quickly with as few ingredients as possible.  This week post your favorite recipes that require six (6) ingredients or less.  Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

I think I have posted this disclaimer before, but it bears repeating before I do an assignment like this:  I am not a cook.  I don't like to cook.  I do it only because my family needs to eat.  That said, I immediately thought of the crockpot dish I usually take to church youth when it's my turn to provide food.  I am not even sure there is a name for this, but one of the young adults refers to it as "Mrs Kym's Amazing Meat and Cheese Dip" or something like that.  LOL  All I know is that the kids eat it all - I never have leftovers to take home.  And its hearty enough to be dinner.  It's also good to share here because I keep this recipe in my head.  I will give it a less pretentious name in case anyone is inclined to copy the recipe... how about "Vault Dip"  or something like that.  (The Vault is the name of the youth center and program at our church)

Vault Taco Dip

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 2 cans (14 oz) Rotel (tomatoes, chilis, peppers, etc)
• approx 6 cups shredded cheese (I usually use colby jack)
• Tabasco sauce to suit your taste
• chili powder - ummm.... several tablespoons worth - I do about 8 or 10 shakes LOL

Brown ground beef and drain.  Dump it in a crockpot and add:  Rotel, shredded cheese, Tabasco, and chili powder.  Mix it up and turn crockpot on low for about two hours.  Serve with tortilla chips. 

"But godliness with contentment is great gain.  For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.  But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that." ~I Timothy 6:8
