Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef or sausage
2 packs (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
1/2 cup diced green onions
1/2 cup diced jalapeños (optional, for extra heat)
1 packet taco seasoning
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Tortilla chips or crackers, for dipping
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Cook the Meat
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or sausage until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat to keep the dip creamy and rich.
Step 3: Combine the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth. Add the cheddar cheese, Pepper Jack cheese, Rotel, green onions, and jalapeños (if you love extra heat). Sprinkle in the taco seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Fold in the cooked ground beef or sausage until everything is well mixed.
Step 4: Bake the Dip
Spread the dip mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden, bubbly, and irresistible.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Serve the dip warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or even veggie sticks. Add extra diced green onions or shredded cheese on top for a pop of color.
