Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 10 ounces Rotel tomatoes with green chilies
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 jalapeño, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. This takes about 6-8 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the beef, then return it to the skillet.
Reduce heat to medium and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese is completely melted and mixed with the beef.
Add the Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, including the juices, to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Gradually stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until it is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Season the dip with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste.
For an extra kick, add the chopped jalapeño if desired.
Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until everything is heated through.
Once the dip is ready, transfer it to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve hot with low-carb chips or veggie sticks.
