Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound of lean ground beef
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
1 can (10 ounces) of diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1 teaspoon of cumin
½ teaspoon of salt to taste
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, approximately 6-8 minutes. Make sure to drain any excess fat.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and salt into the beef mixture, allowing the flavors to meld for another 2 minutes over low heat.
Reduce heat to low, then add the cream cheese, stirring until it melts and combines with the beef.
Pour the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies into the beef and cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly.
Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until it melts completely and becomes smooth.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping.
