Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 8 slices Bacon
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Pepper jack cheese, shredded
• 10 ounces Diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel), drained
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
• 1 bag Tortilla chips, for serving

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, and crumble it into small pieces once cooled. Set aside.

Step 2

Using the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until it melts and combines with the beef.

Step 4

Gradually add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and pepper jack cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.

Step 5

Stir in the drained diced tomatoes with green chilies, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the crumbled bacon. If the dip is too thick, you can thin it with a splash of milk or cream until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 7

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy!
