First let me preface, we have been living in Alabama for 17 years now.  Back in the day KATV used to have a morning news show on before Good Morning America.  One morning Paul Eells was the guest on the show (I know he was sports anchor for them, but he was the guest that day) and he made his game day cheese dip for them.  So, here is the recipe for those who didn't get it twenty something years ago.  In the words of cousin Eddie, "it is gooouuud!"

1lb. ground beef
1 box block chili (Famous, Four Star, Ziegler's)
1 lb. Velveeta
1 can Rotel
1 half pint whipping cream

brown and season beef, add block chili and heat thoroughly, cube up Velveeta, add in , stir until melted, add rotel and heat everthing until thoroughly hot, remove from neat and stir in whipping cream.  Enjoy with your favorite chips and
adult beverages.

Yeah, I googled it...never seen it in the store.  Is it frozen?
Nope. It's in the meat section usually. It's actually made in Arkansas, or used to be anyway.

You are very welcome.  It's not the same with can chili, so don't give up on the block.  If you have to, ask the store manager to get it.

Sitting at a local diner here one time at the bar next to a Cardiologist. I said man those milk shakes look so good. He said, yep they keep me in business!

Made here in Fort Smith. I grew up with a couple of the guys whose family owns the company. Used to get into a lot of mischief with those boys in our younger days.

Couldn't find the Famous brand here in Cypress, but I did find a Texas brick made in Ft Worth...gonna give it a try in the morning!

Btw...how did you fare in Harvey?  Good here in my immediate neighborhood.  Bad a couple blocks away!

Glad to hear y'all fared well. We didn't have any water in the house but it was closer than I ever want to see it again. I'm in Clear Lake. I'll check the HEB down the street to see if we have a chili block!

^  Looks about like mine!  I accidently put the whole 2# of Velveeta in it though...certainly didn't ruin it!  Cause, Velveeta!!

This really brings back fond memories of some of my Dad's home cooking. I can remember the delicious block chili, sometimes brains and eggs (never thought to ask him where he got the brains), squirrel and dumplings, rabbit stew and to top it off poke salad greens. He could put Hee Haw to shame.

Man, that's some good eats!  My dad could fry perch like nobody!  And his crappy was just in another league!!

He would come in after work  many times around 8-9 in the evening (building a business) and ask my mom what was for dinner...and she would usually reply with some casserole she had worked hours on (my brother and I had already turned up our noses at that crap--kids with kids' pallets!).

Dad would get out the cast iron skillet and fry up some fish and taters!  And, of course, leave the mess for mom to clean up...  :D

No, just the jowls and hocks. 

But, my mom used to boil a beef tongue when I was a kid.  Used to freak me out...I never wanted to taste something that could be tasting me back!

Alright, y'all have one week to get out there and find some block chili.  A can of Wolf Brand or Armour just ain't the same at all, and the beans ruin it.  I was just bringing this back up because this is good stuff, and will probably be a lot better with a winning football team.

Petit Jean makes some. ( it's normally around where the sausage, hot dogs and/or cold cuts are)
I buy it for chili dogs often - I think it by far is the best around.

Okay, you are right, I should have done that first instead of going off of what other people said was said.
So basically all my complaining was for nothing and I'm a dumbass.  I should have just watch the presser BEFORE commenting.

The whipping cream is interesting. Anybody else use that in their cheese dip? 

A good alternative to using chili is canned tamales in the cheese dip. Just don't let the wife know I gave up her secret ingredient

Beans in chili should be against the law!
