Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 8 ounces (softened) cream cheese
• 2 cups (shredded) cheddar cheese
• 1 cup (shredded) Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 can (10 ounces, drained) canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g. Rotel)
• 1 cup beer (lager or ale)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper
• 2 stalks (sliced, for garnish) green onions
• 1 bag/loaf (for serving) tortilla chips or crusty bread

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.

Step 2

Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium-low, and stir in the softened cream cheese until fully melted and incorporated with the beef mixture.

Step 4

Add the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cheeses have melted completely.

Step 5

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, beer, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly and let the dip simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and bubbly.

Step 6

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or a small slow cooker set to warm. Garnish with sliced green onions for a pop of color and added flavor.

Step 7

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or slices of crusty bread for dipping.
