Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup diced onion (about ½ medium onion)
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
- 4 teaspoons dill relish
- ½ pound Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- Shredded lettuce
- Grilled onions (caramelized)
- Diced cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Brown the beef: Add 1 pound ground beef to a medium skillet or cast iron pan and cook over medium heat until cooked through with no pink remaining. Drain fat leaving 1 tablespoon in the pan, then remove beef from the pan.
- Cook the onions: Add ½ cup diced onion to the remaining beef fat in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes over medium heat until onions are tender and translucent.
- Combine ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the pan with the onions. Add 1 (14.5-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes and 4 teaspoons dill relish. Stir to combine and cook for about 2 minutes until heated through.
- Melt the cheeses: Add ½ pound Velveeta cheese and 4 ounces cream cheese (both cut into cubes) to the pan. Stir continuously over medium heat until all cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Season: Taste the dip and season with salt and ground black pepper as needed.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving dish. Top with shredded lettuce, caramelized grilled onions, and diced cherry tomatoes. Serve warm with crackers or bread for dipping.
Notes
- Use medium heat to ensure the cheese melts smoothly without burning.
- Drain excess fat but leave 1 tablespoon to enhance flavor for cooking onions.
- Caramelize grilled onions separately for optimal flavor before topping the dip.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
- Can be kept warm in a slow cooker on low if serving at a party.
