Tasty Video Mexican Beef and Chees Dip

Making queso dip from scratch is much easier than you may think, and it tastes better than store-bought dips. This Mexican party dip recipe is one you'll want to make often!

This delicious and easy party appetizer, beef queso dip, is incredibly delicious. It's more than a party dip, though. Sometimes I use it on top of French fries, baked potatoes, and vegetables.

It's so simple to make and you can customize it with your own preferences – your family and friends will be asking for this all the time!

Ingredients

Like the name implies, this recipe is made from scratch, which means this is one queso dip without Velveeta. Once you try it though, you'll agree – a few extra ingredients gives this dip a nice, strong flavor.

• ground beef
• chili powder
• ground cumin
• garlic powder
• butter
• flour
• non fat milk
• low fat pepper jack cheese shredded
• low fat sharp cheddar cheese shredded
• salsa

How do I garnish this beef queso dip?

I like to garnish this recipe with cilantro and crumbled Cotija cheese, feel free to garnish the dip with some colorful and tasty toppings.

• guacamole
• tomato salsa or try my Roasted Tomato Salsa
• mango or pineapple salsa
• thinly sliced jalapeños

Want a spicier queso dip?

For those that like their dip with extra kick, you can adjust the heat level by adding more chili powder.

You can also customize this beef queso dip by adding in some spicier ingredients. Some suggestions include:

• finely chopped fire roasted green or chipotle chili peppers
• diced jalapeños

Instructions

1. Season the ground beef with chili powder, cumin and garlic powder. Then brown the beef in a large skillet.
2. Melt butter in a sauté pan and add flour. Stir the mixture with a whisk and continue to cook for a couple of minutes. Whisk in milk and continue to cook on low until thickened.
3. Whisk in the pepper jack cheese and cheddar cheese until smooth. Add the salsa and seasoned, browned beef. Simmer on low.
4. Serve warm.

How do I serve this dip?

Of course, the best way to enjoy this queso dip with ground beef is with warm tortilla chips but as I mentioned earlier, I also enjoy this dip in a bunch of different ways. Here are just a few ideas:

• pour it over French fries or potato wedges
• baked potato topping
• pour it over steamed vegetables, like broccoli or cauliflower
• use it in tacos and burritos or on top of fajitas
• hot dog topping
• instead of a using it a dip for tortilla chips, pour the queso dip on top of the chips for some awesome nachos
