Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 15 oz canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp chili seasoning
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for topping)
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and chili seasoning. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium oven-safe dish, spread the softened cream cheese in an even layer across the bottom.
Pour the chili mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chili mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dip from the oven, and let it cool slightly before serving.
Optional: Top the dip with sour cream and chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping.
