Ingredients
- ½ pound ground beef
- ½ red onion, chopped
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning
- 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
- 8 ounces processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cubed
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into cubes
- 4 ounces Gouda cheese
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup half-and-half, or more as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Combine ground beef, red onion, and garlic in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until beef is browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes.
- Drain any excess liquid from the skillet. Season with taco seasoning and mix well.
- Add cooked ground beef, diced tomatoes, Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, Gouda, jalapeno, and cilantro to an oven-safe dish.
- Drizzle some of the half-and-half on top (don’t use all of it, save some to adjust for thickness later).
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven to stir and adjust thickness with half-and-half as needed. Return to the oven and continue to cook until cheese is bubbly, about 15 more minutes.
