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.
