- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained

Toppings & Serving:

Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes to toast the spices.
- Remove from heat and mix in cream cheese, sour cream, diced tomatoes, and refried beans until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and evenly top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes
- Drain excess fat from the beef to avoid a greasy dip.
- Use your favorite brand of diced tomatoes with green chilies or substitute with mild diced green chilies for less heat.
- For extra kick, add a splash of hot sauce or diced jalapeños.
- Try layering the dip in a casserole dish for an attractive presentation.
- Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave.
