Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: Use a lean ground beef, such as 85% lean, to avoid excess grease in the dip.
  • Brown the beef thoroughly: Cook the ground beef over medium heat until it is no longer pink. This will help to develop the flavor of the beef and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and cream cheese, will create a rich and flavorful dip.
  • Don't overcook the dip: The dip should be heated through, but not boiling. Overcooking can cause the cheese to become rubbery.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for beef taco dip include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and chopped tomatoes.
