Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can diced green chilies
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat.

  • For extra spice, add jalapeños or hot sauce.
  • Substitute ground beef with spicy sausage, turkey, or a vegetarian option like black beans or meatless crumbles.
  • Add corn or black beans for additional texture.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of milk or sour cream if dip thickens.
