Beef Enchilada Dip
Description
The recipe begins by sautéing ground beef in olive oil until browned and crumbly, then draining any fat. Enchilada sauce, roasted corn, chopped green chiles, and half of the shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses are stirred in and seasoned with salt and pepper. The mixture is divided into small ramekins and topped with the remaining cheeses.
Baking at 400°F for about 5 minutes melds the ingredients and melts the cheese, creating a bubbly and inviting top. After a brief cooling period, it is ready for serving. The dip combines the smoky, spicy essence of enchiladas with a creamy, cheesy texture ideal for tortilla chips or vegetable dippers.
This dip suits casual entertaining or game day snacks and can be adapted by adjusting seasoning or cheese proportions to taste.
