Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Skillet Nacho Dip:

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground chicken)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup salsa (mild or spicy)
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • ¼ cup sliced black olives
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Cook the Beef Mixture:

  1. Heat the Skillet: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Brown the Beef: Add ground beef and cook until fully browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
  3. Season the Beef: Stir in the taco seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to coat the beef evenly.

Layer the Ingredients:

  1. Add the Beans: Spread refried beans evenly over the cooked beef.
  2. Add Corn and Salsa: Evenly sprinkle corn kernels on top, followed by the salsa.
  3. Add Cheese: Sprinkle cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top, ensuring full coverage.

Melt the Cheese:

  1. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the cheese melt completely (about 5 minutes).
  2. Broil for Extra Bubbling: For a golden, bubbly finish, place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Garnish and Serve:

  1. Top with Garnishes: Remove from heat and top with sour cream, green onions, diced tomatoes, and black olives.
  2. Serve: Serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping.
