Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (1-oz) package taco seasoning
- 1 (10-oz) can diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
- 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, cut into cubes
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is fully crumbled and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease from the skillet to ensure the dip is not greasy.
- Add seasoning and cheese: Return the skillet to medium heat and add the taco seasoning, undrained diced tomatoes and green chiles, and cream cheese cubes. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Serve: Transfer the warm dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
- For a spicier dip, choose a hot taco seasoning or add jalapeños.
- Can be kept warm in a slow cooker on low for parties.
- To make it vegetarian, substitute ground beef with plant-based meat or black beans.
- Serve with tortilla chips, sliced veggies, or even pita bread for variety.
