Ingredients for Cheesy Beef Dip

Step-by-Step Instructions: How to Make Hot Cheesy Beef Dip
Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Break it up as it cooks.
Time to add your seasonings. Start with Knorr Beef Selects Bouillon.
Add the rest of the seasonings: chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir and break up the ground beef. Continue to stir on occasion until the beef is no longer pink. If you have a lot of fat liquid you can drain some out with a spoon. I like to leave some in.
Sprinkle with the garlic salt.
Time to add all that glorious cheese!
Pepper Jack cheese adds great warmth to this dip. It gives it a little bit of heat, but not too much (I’m a spicy wimp).
Continue stirring until the cheese melts completely, then add the tomatoes with green chilis.
Mix until combined and serve hot! I like to finish with a sprinkling of a diced jalapeño. This Hot Cheesy Beef Dip is great with tortilla chips.
The Knorr Selects Beef Bouillon adds so much flavor.
I hope you get a chance to try this great dip soon. I like to make this on the stovetop, but then keep it warm in a crock pot / slow cooker. Then people can enjoy when they want throughout the game or party.
You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can reheat in the microwave in a safe container.
Tips and Variations for Your Cheesy Beef Dip
- Spice It Up: Swap ground beef for spicy sausage for more heat.
- Milder Version: Use cheddar cheese instead of pepper jack if you prefer less spice.
- Slow Cooker Method: After stovetop prep, transfer to a crockpot on low for 1-2 hours.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
- Serving Ideas: Great for Super Bowl parties, tailgates, or family movie nights.
