Mom’s Cheesy Beef Taco Dip
On Mom’s original recipe for this Cheesy Beef Taco Dip, she wrote in, “Used for Brenda’s graduation party and every bit of it was gone!”
And while big hair and big glasses will go in and out of style, dips as good as this never will!
This beef taco dip is best served warm, when it’s at its thick and gooey cheesy best. Full of shredded cheddar, it’s not a creamy kind of dip, like you’d get if you used cream cheese or Velveeta or Cheese Whiz. So it requires a sturdy chip.
This appetizer is big and hearty, and full of beefy taco flavor. Some might even be tempted to just call it supper…ahem.
Whether serving this for a graduation party, as part of your upcoming Super Bowl spread, or for supper tonight, you’ll soon taste why this dip stands the test of time.
Cheesy Beef Taco Dip
This beef taco dip is best served warm, when it’s at its thick and gooey cheesy best.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 2 or 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 15-oz. can tomato sauce
- 2 T. taco seasoning (more or less, depending on your preference)
- 2 tsp. Frank's Redhot Sauce
- 2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 T. flour
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook beef and garlic until beef is browned. Drain fat. Stir in tomato sauce, taco seasoning, and hot sauce. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, toss cheese with flour. Add cheese to beef mixture, a little at a time, stirring just until melted. Transfer to a small crockpot or fondue pot to keep warm. Garnish, if desired, with sour cream, sliced green onions, chopped tomatoes, etc. Serve with sturdy tortilla chips.

HEALTHY DINNER RECIPES
This dip looks delicious! Perfect for Super Bowl weekend.
This looks great, but I wonder when they will invent that sturdy chip that breaks in your mouth, but not in your dip?
Oh my gosh, this looks so delicious! I never would have thought of combining beef and cheese in a dip. Its like a beefy nacho dip. Mmm I can’t wait to try this!
this looks so good! i think it will be perfect for our next football (or now, gasp, HOCKEY) get together!
Oh my gosh Brenda… that hair is priceless!!! I LOVE IT!! You are such a rock star. Your recipe looks wonderful.. bet my hubby would love it if I treated him with it during some intense sports event. ;)
All my grandchildren love dips and I know this one will be used at our next gathering.
Brenda, I just loved the big 80’s hair–I have some photos like that of myself–and also with big glasses like your Mom had! So funny now…but cute too! It’s not fair that your Dad looked “Normal” in today’s world still. Men don’t have those huge fashion trends like us women always do, although they did have the mostly funny looking “Leisure Suit” back in the 70’s that my own Dad wore. :-)
Love this! I think I’ll add it to the menu I’m already making up for Super Bowl.
This dip looks like such a crowd pleaser!
