Beef Queso Dip Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional for extra heat)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 lb Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
• 1 cup cream cheese
• 1/2 cup milk
• Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef:
   • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain the excess fat.
   • Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and jalapeño (if using). Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
2. Add Spices and Tomato:
   • Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the diced tomato and cook for another 2 minutes until the tomato starts breaking down.
3. Melt the Cheese:
   • Reduce the heat to low and add the Velveeta and cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheeses are completely melted and combined.
   • Gradually add milk to reach a desired creamy consistency.
4. Serve:
   • Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or keep it warm in a slow cooker.
   • Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
