Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 lbs lean ground beef (1 lb is often enough)
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste (be generous)
  • ~15 roasted green chiles, peeled, seeded, and chopped (adjust to your heat preference)
  • 3 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can water (use less if you prefer a thicker dip)
  • 1 block (32 oz) Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 lb shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 generous handful shredded Colby cheese

For Serving

  • Corn chips or Fritos Scoops

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the chopped onion. Season lightly with salt and generously with black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, then drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add Green Chiles: Stir in the chopped roasted green chiles into the cooked beef mixture. Let it simmer together for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld thoroughly.
  3. Add Soup Base: Pour in the three cans of cream of mushroom soup along with about one can of water. Adjust the water quantity if you prefer a thicker or thinner dip. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Add the Cheese: Gradually add the cubed Velveeta cheese into the mixture, stirring continuously. Then blend in the shredded mozzarella and Colby cheese to create a rich, cheesy blend.
  5. Melt & Simmer: Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and stir occasionally for around 20 minutes until all cheeses have melted completely and the dip becomes creamy, smooth, and hot.
  6. Serve: Serve the warm green chile cheese dip immediately with corn chips, Fritos Scoops, tortillas, or your favorite dippers for a delicious party treat.

Notes

  • You can adjust the number of green chiles based on your preferred spice level.
  • For a thicker dip, reduce the amount of water added with the soup.
  • This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker for parties.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
  • Use lean ground beef to reduce grease and excess fat in the dip.
