Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 can Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (such as Rotel)
• 0.25 cup Pickled jalapeño slices
• 2 stalks Green onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 1 bag Corn tortilla chips (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

Step 2

Add the taco seasoning and water to the cooked beef, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid). Stir constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Spread the creamy mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish or an oven-safe skillet.

Step 5

Layer the seasoned beef evenly over the creamy base.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the beef layer.

Step 7

Bake the dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Top with pickled jalapeño slices, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with a large bowl of corn tortilla chips. Enjoy!
