Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb chorizo
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your dip cooks evenly and reaches the perfect temperature.

Step 2: Brown the Meats

In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and sausage. Cook until the meats are browned, breaking them apart with a spoon as they cook. Make sure they are fully cooked and any excess fat is drained.

Step 3: Prepare the Veggies

Add the diced onion, jalapeños, and bell peppers to the skillet with the browned meat. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4: Mix in Cream Cheese

Lower the heat and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has completely melted and combined with the meat and vegetables.

Step 5: Add Cheese and Other Ingredients

Gradually mix in the cheddar cheese, sour cream, and any remaining spices. Keep stirring until the cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined.

Step 6: Transfer to Baking Dish

Pour the dip mixture into a greased baking dish or a casserole dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking.

Step 7: Bake the Dip

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it hot with your favorite chips or vegetables for dipping.

Notes

Layering Flavors

To create a rich and complex dip, layer your ingredients instead of mixing them all together. Start with a base of cream cheese and gradually add layers of other ingredients like meat, cheese, and spices for depth of flavor.

Baking for Texture

Bake the dip in the oven until it is golden and bubbly. This not only enhances the flavor but also gives the dip a delicious crispy top.

Using Fresh Ingredients

Opt for fresh ingredients when possible. Fresh onions, jalapeños, and herbs can significantly elevate the freshness and taste of your dip compared to pre-packaged options.

Utilizing the Broiler

For an extra crunchy topping, use the broiler in the final minutes of baking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning, and remove the dip once it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
