Beef & Cheese Dip

Beef & Cheese Dip

INGREDIENTS

1 lb ground beef
1 lb cheese of choice (mine is chipotle colby), grated
1 can of diced tomatoes with chilis
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small red/orange/yellow bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 packet taco seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
Sour cream, sliced scallions, and chopped cilantro to top the dip
Tortilla chips to serve

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add beef and cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, until there is no pink left. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside on a plate, then put the onions and peppers in the pan and cook until softened. Add the beef back in along with the can of tomatoes and the seasoning packet and let simmer for 3-5 minutes to let the flavors meld. Lower the heat and add in the grated cheese, stirring gently until combined. Transfer dip to a serving bowl and top with sour cream, cilantro, and scallions. Serve with the tortilla chips.
