Beef queso dip
This semi-homemade beef queso dip is rich, cozy, and perfect for game day or casual hosting. Made with lean ground beef, smoked gouda, and a creamy queso base, it comes together fast and always disappears.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- Salt and pepper to season the beef
- 1 small red onion diced (plus extra for topping)
- 1 small tomato diced (plus extra for topping)
- 1 cup frozen black bean corn, and red pepper blend
- 1 15- oz container mild salsa con queso
- 1/2 cup smoked gouda cubed
- 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
- 1/2 cup bone broth or milk to loosen the sauce
- Chopped parsley for garnish
- Red Doritos for serving
Instructions
- Start by placing a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season it with salt and pepper. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s fully browned and no longer pink. If there’s excess grease, carefully drain it off.
- Lower the heat to low, then add the diced red onion, diced tomato, frozen black bean, corn, and red pepper blend, salsa con queso, cream cheese, cubed smoked gouda, and bone broth or milk. Gently stir everything together until combined.
- Cover the skillet and let the mixture cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is smooth and creamy. If the queso feels too thick, add a splash more broth or milk until it reaches a scoopable consistency.
- Once melted and heated through, remove from the heat. Serve warm over red Doritos and finish with chopped red onion, parsley, and tomatoes, or top with fresh pico de gallo.
Notes
you can sub the salsa con queso and use cubed velveeta in it's place for the same result
