Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 to 2 lbs lean ground beef (1 lb often sufficient)
- ½ cup chopped onion
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste (be generous)
- ~15 roasted green chiles, peeled, seeded, and chopped (adjust to your heat preference)
- 3 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can water (adjust to desired thickness)
- 1 block (32 oz) Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 lb shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 generous handful shredded Colby cheese
For Serving
- Corn chips or Fritos Scoops
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef together with the chopped onion. Season lightly with salt and generously with black pepper. Continue cooking until the beef is browned and fully cooked, then drain off excess grease.
- Add Green Chiles: Stir in the chopped roasted green chiles. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15 minutes so the flavors meld beautifully.
- Add Soup Base: Pour in the three cans of cream of mushroom soup and about one can of water (use less if you prefer a thicker consistency). Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Add the Cheese: Gradually incorporate the cubed Velveeta cheese, followed by the shredded mozzarella and Colby cheese.
- Melt & Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and stir occasionally for approximately 20 minutes, allowing all cheeses to melt fully and the dip to become creamy, smooth, and hot.
- Serve: Serve the dip warm accompanied by corn chips, Fritos Scoops, tortillas, or your favorite dippers.
Notes
- Adjust the number of green chiles depending on your tolerance for heat.
- Use lean ground beef to reduce grease in the dip.
- For a thicker dip, reduce the amount of water added.
- Velveeta cheese is key for achieving a smooth, creamy texture.
- This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker if serving at parties.
