Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chillies, drained
1 (15 oz) can refried beans
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup green onions, chopped for garnish
Tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion until the beef is cooked through and the onion is translucent.
Add the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the skillet, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, drained tomatoes with green chilies, and refried beans, mixing until smooth.
Fold the seasoned beef mixture into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Spread the mixture into a 9×9 inch baking dish or a medium-sized casserole dish.
Top evenly with the shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving warm with tortilla chips.
Notes
You can keep this dip warm in a slow cooker on the low setting during parties to keep it spreadable. For extra heat, add a diced jalapeño to the beef while it browns.
