Many of my friends are like that. I usually don't add extra if I've
already put it in the sauce or toppings. But, everyone is permitted to
suit themsleves.

I use my crock pots for many sauces/soups/dips, etc.

      Title: Quick Dip/Burrito Filling
 Categories: Five, Beef, Beans, Vegetables
      Yield: 1 1/2 quarts
 
      1 lb Chub Dos Rios taco meat
     16 oz Can Old El Paso refried
           - beans w/green chilies
 14 1/2 oz Can diced tomatoes; w/green
           - chilies, undrained
           Tortillas or tortilla chips;
           - optional
           Shredded cheddar; optional
 
  Thaw the taco meat in the microwave. Squeeze it from
  its plastic home into the baby crockpot.
  
  Open the refritoes and tomatoes and dump in on top of
  the taco meat. Stir it all together and set the temp
  to "Low". Put the lid on the crockpot and go off to do
  other things for four or more hours.
  
  Spoon a nice portion on a plate or into a bowl and
  sprinkle some shredded cheese on top. Dip it up with
  homemade tortilla chips or Doritos.
  
  To make burritos: Nuke a flour tortilla for fifteen
  seconds. Put about a half-cup of the stuff from the
  crockpot in the middle of the tortilla. Top that (if
  desired) with shredded cheddar, and/or dairy sour
  cream, and taco/enchilada sauce. Roll up and begin
  stuffing your pie hole.
