Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Veggies

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Cheese and Dairy

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Other Ingredients

  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can refried beans
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped for garnish
  • Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish suitable for the dip.
  2. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with diced onion and minced garlic until the beef is fully browned and the onions are softened. Drain any excess grease to keep the dip from becoming too oily.
  3. Mix in Creaminess: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base.
  4. Add Flavors: Add the drained diced tomatoes with green chilies, refried beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
  5. Bake: Transfer the entire mixture to your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce or diced jalapeños.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Refried beans can be substituted with black beans if preferred.
  • Make sure to drain the tomatoes and refried beans well to prevent excess moisture.
  • This dip can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
