Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Pepper jack cheese, shredded
- 10 ounces Diced tomatoes with green chilies (canned)
- 0.25 cup Pickled jalapeños, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Reduce the heat to low and mix the softened cream cheese into the skillet until it begins to melt and combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
Add the cooked ground beef back into the skillet. Stir in the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, chopped pickled jalapeños, ketchup, mustard, and hot sauce (if using). Combine thoroughly.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and pepper jack cheese. Stir until the cheeses are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Season the dip with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning or spiciness as needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or keep it warm in a slow cooker on the 'low' or 'warm' setting.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced vegetables for dipping.
