Beef, Black Bean and Corn Nacho Dip with Sour Cream and Guacamole

We had this for dinner last night, it's pretty good. Would be great to take to a party, since it is tasty and your chips stay nice and crisp. We didn't have chili powder, so we used some cayenne, we also subbed canned corn for the frozen corn. We also added a little cumin, which I think was a good addition. If you're into heat definitely add some jalapeno!

Update: we made this for our Harry Potter Movie Marathon and we did it in the slow cooker and it was fabulous. Sautee the onion and brown the meat first then just dump it and everything else into the crockpot and leave it on low for 3-4 hours. We poured it into a baking dish, covered it with cheese, sour cream and home made Guacamole.
