Method
Cheese Dip Preparation
Combine Cheese Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, creamy ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Heat Cheese Dip
Transfer the cheese mixture to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until the dip is heated through and creamy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Hatch Green Chile Salsa Preparation
Combine Salsa Ingredients
In a bowl, mix together the Hatch green chiles, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
Chill Salsa
Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. You can refrigerate it if prepared in advance.
Braised Ground Beef Preparation
Cook Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Season Beef
Once the beef is browned, add chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
