Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 lb ground beef (or sausage for a richer flavor)
  • ½ onion, finely diced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • ½ cup water
  • 16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 4 oz Monterey Jack cheese, cubed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 10 oz Rotel tomatoes (choose spicy if you like a kick!)
  • 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • ⅓ cup chopped green onions
  • 2 TBS chopped cilantro
  • 1 Roma tomato, chopped

Optional substitutions:

  • For a lighter version, you can substitute ground turkey for beef.
  • Dairy-free cheeses can be used for those with lactose intolerance.

Instructions

Step 1: Brown the Meat

In a skillet, cook the ground beef (or sausage) with diced onions over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the meat is fully browned. Drain off excess grease.

Step 2: Season the Meat

Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Stir and let it simmer until the water evaporates, ensuring the meat absorbs all the flavorful spices.

Step 3: Combine the Ingredients

In a large baking dish, combine the browned meat, Velveeta cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese, Rotel tomatoes, and cream of mushroom soup. Stir everything well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 4: Bake the Dip

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until all the cheeses have melted and the dip is bubbling.

(Alternative Method: CROCKPOT)
If you prefer using a slow cooker, you can set it on low for 2 hours. This method allows the flavors to meld together slowly, resulting in a rich, creamy dip.

Step 5: Serve with Fresh Toppings

Once the dip is baked, stir well and top with chopped green onions, cilantro, and fresh Roma tomatoes for a burst of freshness. Serve warm and enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

  • Tip 1: If you prefer a spicier dip, consider using spicy Rotel tomatoes or adding diced jalapeños.
  • Tip 2: For a creamier texture, don’t skip the cream of mushroom soup—it helps give the dip its signature creaminess.
  • Tip 3: If you’re short on time, use pre-cooked sausage crumbles instead of browning the meat yourself.
