Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef we used 85/15
  • 1 15-oz. jar of cheez whiz
  • 7 large jalapeños separated
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 1.5 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • Optional
  • green onion for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
  • Half and seed 6 of the jalapenos (please wear gloves when seeding jalapenos) saving 1 for garnish. Place the jalapenos on a sheet pan cut side up and spray with cooking spray. Flip them over and spray again. Bake the jalapenos in the oven for 20-25 minutes. 
  • When the jalapenos are roasted, place them in a glass bowl with a lid to let them sweat a bit. A plastic bag would also work, but they would need to cool a bit beforehand. 
  • While the jalapeños are sweating, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until the beef is fully cooked. 
  • Turn the heat to low and add the brick of cream cheese, breaking it up into smaller pieces while it melts. 
  • Next, add the jar of cheez whiz to the skillet mixing until everything is incorporated and there are no lumps. 
  • Keeping the meat and cheese mixture on low, take the jalapeños out of the bowl and remove the skins from them. Dice them and add to the meat mixture. 
  • Add the paprika, chili powder, cayenne, and lime juice to the skillet. 
  • Top with sliced jalapeños and serve. 

Tips & Notes

  • This dip is best served with Doritos but any tortilla chip would work.
