Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 10 ounce Rotel (1 can) drained
- salt to taste
- 2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Place the ground beef in a pot over medium high heat on the stove. Saute until completely browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Remove the meat and set aside.
- Add the chicken broth, heavy whipping cream, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, Rotel and salt to the pot over medium heat. Simmer until the mixture thickens.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese until completely melted.
- Mix in the cooked ground beef then transfer warm dip to a serving bowl.
Notes
Use freshly grated cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that can affect the smoothness of the dip. Grating your own cheese results in a creamier texture.
You can customize the flavor by adjusting the amount of Rotel tomatoes to suit your preference. Play around with different amounts until you find the ideal balance of spice and tang.
Gradually stir in the grated cheese, allowing it to melt slowly for a creamy and smooth texture.
For a thicker dip, be sure to drain any excess liquid from the Rotel tomatoes before adding them to the beef mixture.
