Ingredients
Essential Ingredients
-
- Ground beef is the primary ingredient in this dip. Ground beef is usually the 80/20 ratio of ground beef (meaning 80 20% fat-free meat and 20 percent fat), which is the most effective. This mix, both lean and fat, creates the ideal combination of flavor and juiciness.
-
- Cream Cheese Cream Cheese creates a creamy texture, which makes the dip delicious. Cream cheese that is full-fat gives the dip a creamy consistency. However, you can choose a lighter flavor if you’re trying to cut down on calories.
-
- Cheddar Cheese: Cheddar cheese is a traditional option for hamburger dips because it melts wonderfully and provides a sharp and savory flavor. It is also possible to try other varieties of cheese, like Monterey Jack or Colby, to get a mild flavor.
-
- Sour Cream balances the cream’s rich cheese and provides a mild flavor. You can choose low-fat or full-fat sour cream according to your preferences.
-
- Taco seasoning: Mix spices that contain chili powder and garlic, cumin, and onion powder. It adds bold, spicy flavors to your dip. You could also make the taco seasoning mix for a more authentic taste.
-
- Sliced Tomatoes with Green Chilies: This ingredient provides the dip with an explosion of flavor and some heat. They also aid in reducing the thickness of the dip, which makes it much easier for you to spoon.
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef. Start by heating up a big pan at medium temperature. Put in the ground meat and cook until it is cooked, breaking it into pieces using a spatula while it cooks. Ensure you cook it well so it’s completely brown and soft.
- Drain the fat. After the beef has been cooked, remove any oil from the cooking pan. This will reduce the overall greasiness in the dip.
- Add seasoning Taco seasoning to the meat and the amount of water indicated in the seasoning packet. Stir thoroughly to ensure that all the meat is coated with the seasoning.
- Add the creamy ingredients and reduce the heat to a low. Add the cream cheese softened in the pot and mix until the cheese melts and blends in with the meat. This creates a smooth, velvety texture to the dip you’re making.
- Include Sour Cream and Cheese. Stir in the sour cream until smooth. Then, add the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese completely melts and the dip turns dense and creamy.
- Add tomatoes and simmer. Mix diced tomatoes along with green chilies. Stir to mix. Let the dip simmer for approximately 5 minutes while stirring frequently. This will let the flavors mix and make the dip an ideal consistency.
- Serve Dip into a bowl for serving, and add cheese, chopped green onions, or fresh cilantro, if you like. Serve immediately with nachos, tortilla chips, or any fresh veggies.
