Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 chopped (for garnish) scallions
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef evenly.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the softened cream cheese until fully melted and combined.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with chopped scallions.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
