Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 packet chili seasoning (about 1 ounce)
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumble as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set the beef aside.
  2. Melt the Cheeses: In the same skillet, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. Stir continuously over low heat until the cheeses are completely melted and smooth.
  3. Add Seasoning and Beef: Stir in the chili seasoning packet and the cooked ground beef into the melted cheese mixture, mixing until well combined and heated through.

Notes

  • For a spicier dip, add extra chili powder or hot sauce to taste.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
  • Keep warm on low heat or in a slow cooker before serving to maintain creaminess.
