Cheesy, savory, and hearty—this Beef Enchilada Dip is sure to be your new go-to for game day and beyond. Just open a can of Pacific Foods® Organic Condensed Tomato Soup and you’re well on your way to an easy and delicious enchilada sauce—the perfect base for zesty, seasoned ground beef and Tex-Mex toppings.
Preheat broiler with a rack 5 to 6 inches from heat source (upper third position). Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high for 5 minutes. Add beef and cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Stir to crumble and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink and nicely browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Pour off excess fat into a small heatproof bowl; discard once cool.
Add taco seasoning and garlic to skillet; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in soup and beans; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium to maintain a simmer; cook, stirring often, until flavors have melded, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add cream cheese; cook, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; sprinkle evenly with Mexican-blend cheese.
Place skillet in oven and broil until cheese is melted and dip is bubbly around edges, 1 to 3 minutes. If desired, top with fresh or pickled sliced jalapeños, thinly-sliced radishes, and/or chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips and/or fresh cut vegetables.
The dip can be prepared up through Step 2, refrigerated, and broiled when ready to serve. Just cover it with foil and reheat it at 350° F for about 30 minutes.
Ground chicken, pork, or more beans can be substituted for ground beef.
You can make your own taco seasoning with cumin, chili powder, coriander, dried oregano, and paprika. Start with 3 teaspoons chili powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon coriander. Adjust to taste.
A cast-iron skillet isn’t crucial for this recipe, but it will keep the dip warm longer, as cast-iron has great heat retention.
