Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 16 oz processed cheese (e.g., Velveeta), cubed
• 10 oz diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel), undrained
• 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 cup whole milk (optional, for thinning)
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 bag tortilla chips (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and add the cubed processed cheese to the skillet. Stir frequently until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.

Step 5

Mix in the undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and optional milk (if the dip needs thinning). Stir well to combine and heat through.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Serve warm alongside tortilla chips or your favorite dippers.
