Cooking Steps

• Begin by cooking the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the beef is browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat to ensure the dip isn’t greasy.
• Add the chopped bacon to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Stir to combine and heat through for about 2 minutes, allowing the bacon flavor to infuse into the beef.
• Reduce the heat to low. Add the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheeses are fully melted and the mixture is creamy, which should take around 3-5 minutes.
• Mix in the diced tomatoes with green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
• Once everything is combined and the dip is hot, transfer it to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh touch. Serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping.
