Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 optional crackers, chips, or vegetables (for serving)
Instructions
Peel and finely dice the yellow onion.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until caramelized and golden brown. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until melted and well combined with the beef.
Add the sour cream, caramelized onions, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
