Open in Pepper →The Dip Everybody Crowds Around
A good taco dip does double duty. It feeds a crowd on a Saturday afternoon and it feeds your own family on a Tuesday when nobody wants a real dinner, with a bag of chips and maybe a spoon of extra salsa.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when company is coming and the oven is already full, when the kids have friends over, or when the game starts in an hour and there's ground beef in the fridge.
Every recipe here is a dip you can set out and walk away from — cold layered ones like Easy Layered Taco Dip and Seven Layer Dip, hot cheesy ones like Smoked queso dip, Sausage and Cheese Dip and Chili cheese dip, plus a simple Bean Dip and a 3 ingredient cheese dip for when you're short on time.
Quick Tips
- 1
Brown and drain the meat
Cook 1 pound of ground beef or sausage until no pink remains, then drain the grease so your dip doesn't separate into an oily layer.
- 2
Shred your own cheese
Grate a block of pepper jack or Colby-Jack yourself; pre-shredded cheese is coated in starch and turns grainy when it melts.
- 3
Melt cheese on low
Keep the heat low and stir in ⅔ cup milk or half-and-half a splash at a time, about 5 to 8 minutes, until the white cheese is smooth.
- 4
Chill layered dips first
Spread refried beans and softened cream cheese over the bottom, then chill 30 minutes before adding tomatoes and lettuce so the layers stay put.
