How to Make Cheese Dip

Cheese dip adds a splash of color to any table.

Cheese dip is an all-time favorite no matter the age of the people eating it. Whether you need a festive dip to spice up a party's appetizer buffet or a fan-favorite to contribute to the neighborhood barbecue or tailgate, cheese dip is a tasty, quick and easy alternative to just bringing the same old bag of chips and sour cream and onion dip. In this article, we will discuss how to make cheese dip.

Things You'll Need

• 1 lb. Ground Beef
• 1 Can Salsa
• 1 Block Cheddar Cheese
• 1 Pot
• 1 Spoon
• 1 Knife

Instructions

1. 

   Slice the cheese into chunks. The chunks should be cubes about an inch on each side. You will melt them into the dip later. Once you have cut the cheese into cubes, put them to the side.

2. 

   Brown the meat in a pot on the stove. As it cooks, use the spoon to break the meat into little pieces so that later you can easily stir it into the dip.

3. Drain the grease. Pour the excess grease out of the pan and into a container so that you can dispose of it later. Too much grease will prevent the dip from having a smooth and even consistency.

4. Place the pot back on the stove on medium heat. You need to keep the mixture warm as you add ingredients so they will blend smoothly.

5. 

   Stir in the jar of salsa. Make sure that the meat and salsa are evenly blended.

6. Stir in the cheese chunks. You will need to stir the mixture constantly as this type of cheese melts very quickly and can burn on the bottom of the pan if you do not keep the dip moving over the heat.

7. 

   Remove from the stove and serve. You can eat this dip hot or cold, and most people prefer it with corn chips.

Tips & Warnings

• If you wish, you can add hot peppers, corn, or taco seasoning to make your dip a little zestier.

• If you are serving the dip as part of a buffet, serve it in a crock pot to keep it warm.

• Don't add too many excess ingredients in cheese dip. Simplicity makes it extraordinary.
