Ingredients
  

  • ½ pound ground beef browned
  • 16 ounce jar of premade queso dip
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  • Stir the cooked ground beef into the warmed queso dip until well incorporated.
  • Transfer the queso dip to a serving dish. Top with sliced green onions and crumbled Cotija cheese. For extra color and flavor, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
  • Serve hot with tortilla chips, veggies, or bread for dipping.

Notes

Dip can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat to serve, adding a splash of milk if needed to thin dip.
