Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pounds ground beef
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it's browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Break it up into small crumbles as it cooks.
Drain the excess grease from the skillet, leaving the cooked beef in the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has completely melted and is well combined with the beef.
Stir in the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, including the juices. Mix well.
Add the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir the mixture until the spices are evenly distributed.
Gradually sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese while continuing to stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the dip cool slightly before serving.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro on top.
Serve the chili cheese dip warm with low carb tortilla chips, sliced bell peppers, or celery sticks.
