HOW DO I MAKE BEEF ENCHILADA DIP?

Easy!! To make your Beef Enchilada Dip, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and in a large skillet, brown ground beef until no longer pink and then drain grease from the pan and add taco seasoning and stir to combine. Pour in enchilada sauce, seasonings, jalapeno peppers, corn, black beans, green chiles and 8 oz of shredded cheese and mix together.

Then shmear (yes, it’s a real word) softened cream cheese on the bottom of a 13 x 9 baking pan.

Top with refried beans – spread evenly to create a layer over the cream cheese and then pour enchilada mixture over the refried beans and spread evenly. Cover with shredded cheese and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately!

Notes

This recipe makes a TON!! ... Like this is perfect for parties because you can split this recipe in half and make two pans of Beef Enchilada Dip.  I usually split the refried beans and enchilada filling in half and freeze the other half and use it for regular enchiladas later in the week 🙂
