This Beef Enchilada Dip recipe is so easy and feeds a crowd! Itmay be simple but with ingredients like beef, onions, enchilada sauce, and a whole lot of cheese, it’s packed with flavor.
ENCHILADA BEEF DIP
My motto for the New Year is K.I.S.S.
If you don’t know what K.I.S.S.stands for it means Keep It Simple Stupid.
When I start getting ideas for recipes sometimes I get carried away and try to add anything I can in sight. What I’ve learned over the years is that more isn’t always more.
Too many ingredients can sometimes compete with each other rather than letting the flavors of the dish shine.
When I was brainstorming the ingredients for this dip I asked my husband what he thought classic beef enchiladas should have in them.
He said, “Beef, onions, cheese, enchilada sauce, and tortillas.”
So that’s exactly what I did. Start off my browning some beef and onion with a little garlic (because everything needs garlic in it).
Next, pour some Old El Paso enchilada sauce in and bring it to a bubble.
Cheese…good enchiladas have plenty of cheese!
You can’t forget your tortilla or in this case your tortilla chip!
Now if you want to get fancy you can add a big dollop of sour cream and olives in the middle and sprinkle it with chopped cilantro. The best part is that this feeds a crowd!

I’m Keto and this was a great recipe for me. Good enough without tortillas and worked great with plain pork rinds. So simple and delicious.

This was very easy and good! I made it the night before a party. I added refried beans to the bottom of the pan and then put the beef mixture over top, sprinkled with cheese. It was baked for 20-30 minutes. Everyone loved it!

Making this now in a skillet. Drained all the grease and followed the recipe to a tee….well actually I changed to sharp instead of cheddae and herbes de provence instead of cilantro. Then baked with 8 slices of a southern blend cheese slice. Rave reviews! Thank you for the idea! 🤘😎

This is exactly what I use for enchilada filling, plus roasted green chilies and refried beans. So yummy as enchilada filling or as a dip! (It’s also gluten free!)

Just made this… I used one can of enchilada sauce, 1ish cups of cheese, and broiled afterwards. Am currently scarfing this with some greek yogurt as a topping. I added some taco seasonings to the meat, and next time I would definitely add some green onions and/or cilantro for a fresh kick.
