Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasonings

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can (15 oz) chili (prepared chili with beans and seasoning)

Dairy

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the Chili: Pour the canned chili into the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir to combine and heat through for 3-5 minutes until warmed.
  3. Melt the Cheese: Reduce heat to low and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chili and beef mixture. Cover the skillet and allow the cheese to melt, about 2-4 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
  • Choice of chili can be mild, medium, or hot depending on desired spice level.
  • For extra creaminess, add a dollop of sour cream or cream cheese before melting the cheddar.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
  • This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker on low during parties.
