Notes
- Make Ahead:
- Storage:
- Freezing:
- Rotel: Can be substituted with diced tomatoes and diced jalapeño. Sauté until softened before cooking the ground beef.
- Ground Beef: can be substituted for spicy sausage.
- Prep this recipe by cooking the ground beef, layering it all together and storing in a covered dish in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bake or heat in a slow cooker when needed. Increase baking time until dip is warmed through and cheeses are melted. Allow the dish to warm on the counter for 15-20 minutes before putting into a hot oven.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat the dip you can heat in the oven until warmed, adding milk as needed to loosen it back up if it's too thick.
- Store cooked dip in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in the oven or in a slow cooker.
