Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef Raw
- 1/2 lb Bacon Cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese Freshly shredded for best melting
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese Freshly shredded for best melting
- 1/2 cup Cream cheese Room temperature for smooth melting
- 1/2 cup Sour cream Full-fat for richness
- 1/2 cup Milk Add more for thinner consistency if needed
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning Store-bought or homemade
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- 1/4 cup Fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish
- 1 bag Tortilla chips For dipping
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef. Break the beef apart with a spatula and cook until fully browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
- Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat using a colander or tilt the pan and use paper towels.
- Return the drained beef to the skillet and add taco seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, add cream cheese. Stir constantly until it begins to soften and melt, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add sour cream and milk to the saucepan, stirring until smooth and combined.
- Gradually add shredded cheddar and mozzarella to the cream mixture, stirring constantly until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is silky.
- Stir the cooked, seasoned beef and crumbled bacon into the cheese sauce until everything is evenly combined and heated through.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or oven-safe dish. Garnish with extra crumbled bacon and chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding small amounts of milk to restore creaminess.
