Ingredient List

  • 1 lb ground beef (at least 80% lean)
  • 1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ Organic Mild or Medium Chili Starter
  • 1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained, rinsed
  • 4 oz cream cheese (from 8-oz package)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (4 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • Tortilla chips, as desired

Preparation

  1. In 12-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain. Decrease heat to medium. Stir in chili starter and beans; heat to simmering. Cook 8 to 10 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat; spread chili mixture into even layer.
  2. Meanwhile, in medium microwavable bowl, mix cream cheese and milk. Microwave uncovered on High 2 minutes; stir in cheddar cheese, then microwave in 30-second intervals until cheese melts and mixture is easily stirred smooth. Pour over chili mixture in skillet.
  3. Top dip with green onions and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.

Tips

  • For a crowd-pleasing presentation, make this dip in a cast-iron skillet.
  • Leftover dip can be stored, covered and refrigerated, up to two days. Stir the cheese and beef layers together before transferring to storage container. To reheat, microwave uncovered on Medium (50%) 2 minutes; stir, then microwave in 30-second intervals until mixture is steaming hot (at least 165°F). Pour into serving bowl.
  • Serve with additional fresh toppings, such as hot sauce, sour cream, sliced jalapeño chiles or guacamole.
