Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 16 oz processed cheese (e.g., Velveeta), cubed
- 10 oz diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel), undrained
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup whole milk (optional, for thinning)
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 bag tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cubed processed cheese to the skillet. Stir frequently until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
Mix in the undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and optional milk (if the dip needs thinning). Stir well to combine and heat through.
Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve warm alongside tortilla chips or your favorite dippers.
