A creamy, spicy dip made with ground meat and melted cheeses, perfect for game nights and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground sausage or ground beef
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles
  • 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortilla chips or veggies for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium. Add the ground sausage or ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Season lightly with salt and pepper if your sausage isn’t already salty.
  2. Drain the excess fat and transfer the browned meat to a crockpot.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes with green chiles, cubed cream cheese, shredded cheddar, shredded Monterey Jack, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Stir everything together so the cream cheese and shredded cheeses are distributed around the meat and tomatoes.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 2–3 hours, or until the cheeses have completely melted and the mixture is hot and bubbly. Stir once or twice during cooking to keep the texture smooth.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm with tortilla chips or cut vegetables.

Notes

For a lighter twist, try part-skim cheeses and monitor salt carefully. This dip also freezes well, though expect a change in texture upon thawing.
