Description

A delicious and hearty high protein beef nacho dip packed with seasoned ground beef, black beans, cheese, and Greek yogurt for a creamy finish. Perfect for game day or any party snack.


Ingredients

Scale

1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
2 cups shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil


Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add black beans and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Stir to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and mixed evenly.
Transfer the beef mixture to an oven-safe dish if your skillet is not oven-safe.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Place the dish under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes.
Top with dollops of low-fat Greek yogurt and sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the dip before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.
