A creamy and spicy Tex-Mex cheese dip featuring ground beef, pepper jack cheese, and pale ale, perfect for game days and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
  • 3/4 cup pale ale
  • 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
  • 16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can Rotel tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat; drain excess grease.
  2. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Add pale ale, simmer until reduced by about half, 4–5 minutes.
  3. Lower heat to medium-low; add Velveeta and pepper jack cheeses; stir until melted and smooth.
  4. Stir in Rotel tomatoes, black beans, red onion, and cilantro; cook 5 more minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
  5. Serve hot with tortilla chips; refrigerate leftovers and reheat gently.

Notes

Keep heat low when melting the cheese to avoid a grainy texture. Stir in a splash of milk if mixture is too thick when reheating.
