Drain well. Meanwhile in big pot or big crock-pot, combine all the cans of beans&tomatoes, the season mixes and cubes of Velveeta. mix well and bring to boil then turn on low and simmer. In crock-pot, you can cook on low all day or overnight. Serve with sour cream, Frito's and shredded cheese. Even better the next day. Freezes well too and easy to double the batch. You can also vary the types and number of cans of beans to put in...whatever you like or have on hand! Thanks Mrs. Susan for this!!!!
