Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces tortilla chips
- 1/2 cup Salsa Con Queso (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions:
-
Brown the Beef: Start by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until it is well browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat to keep the dip from becoming greasy.
-
Mix the Ingredients: Once the beef is browned and drained, stir in the chili powder, salsa, and 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix everything thoroughly to combine and allow the cheese to melt completely, creating a rich and savory base for your dip.
-
Add Creaminess: For an extra layer of flavor, stir in the Salsa Con Queso, if using. Continue to cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the dip is smooth and creamy.
-
Garnish and Serve: Transfer the hot chili mixture to a serving dish or individual bowls. Top with dollops of sour cream, a generous sprinkling of the remaining shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions for a burst of fresh flavor and color.
-
Accompany with Chips: Serve the dip warm with a side of tortilla chips for dipping. The crunchy chips perfectly complement the creamy, spicy dip.
