Cheesy Beef Enchilada Dip

This Cheesy Beef Enchilada Dip wins me big points with my 15-year-old son and husband every time I make it! My son Connor made it the last time we enjoyed (which I love). Watch out ladies, this may be the dish he makes the first time he ever cooks for a girl, lol!

Making this Beef Enchilada Dip is easy! A quick prep of the ingredients, cooking the ground beef, assembling the dip and a short trip to the oven is all it takes until you do your first scoop.

Ingredients

• olive or avocado oil
• onion
• jalapeno
• garlic 
• ground beef
• Salt & pepper 
• black beans
• enchilada sauce (see how to make your own here)
• taco seasoning
• shredded cheese
• scallions
• pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese

Tips

• Use full fat ingredients for best results.
• Don't cook at a higher temperature than recommended and cook on the middle rack to prevent cheese from "breaking".

Sports season is about to get into full swing, so try this Cheesy Beef Enchilada Dip at one of your next gatherings (or just because at home...especially if you have teenage boys...Trust me, lol!) It's like a beef enchilada but with a crunch!

Storage

• This game day dip recipe is best enjoyed after making.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 TBS olive or grapeseed oil
• ¾ cup chopped onion
• 1 whole jalapeno your choice if you leave stems and seeds in for heat
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1 pound of ground beef
• Salt & pepper not too much salt b/c of taco seasoning
• 1 cup black beans
• 1 can enchilada sauce
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheese
• ½ cup chopped scallions
• ½ cup pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese
• Tortilla chips

Instructions

 

• Heat oil in a pan and add in onion, jalapeno, and garlic, saute for a few minutes.
• Add in ground beef and brown it.
• Drain off excess grease.
• Season with salt and pepper (not too much sat since taco seasoning is salty).
• Add in beans, enchilada sauce, and taco seasoning, stir until incorporated and simmer until ground beef is cooked through.
• Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• In a small baking dish, place half of the ground meat mixture. Top with half the scallions, and half of both kinds of cheese. Add the rest of the ground meat mixture and repeat.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Enjoy immediately with chips.

Notes

If you like heat, use the whole jalapeno including seeds and stems (however I like to suggest tasting it for heat level...you just never know about those sneaky jalapenos, they can be super mild or quite the opposite). If you are not into adding jalapenos, add a can of chopped chilies or substitute traditional red or green pepper.

Don't cook at a higher temp than 325. Cheese separates when over-cooked or cooked at too high of a temperature and you'll end up with a lot of grease.
