Beef Enchilada Dip
This meaty, cheesy enchilada dip comes together in just 15 minutes, and is the perfect crowd pleasing appetizer!
I honestly don’t really care for football, but when it comes to football foods, I’ll have ten appetizers ready to go for game day.
I mean, really, the finger foods are way better than watching the little people in the television box tackling each other and then me trying so hard to look for the tiny brown pointy ball. I don’t even know where it is half the time! Can’t they make the ball a little bigger?
Anyway, back to the football foods. After making that enchilada pasta last week, I was completely inspired to make an enchilada dip – a meaty, cheesy dip loaded with green chiles, roasted corn kernels, and two different types of cheeses – monterey jack and sharp cheddar.
It comes together in just 15 minutes, and it’s the absolute perfect game day food that’s completely addicting.
Beef Enchilada Dip
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 ½ cups enchilada sauce
- 1 cup roasted corn kernels
- 1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil two 10-ounce ramekins or coat with nonstick spray.
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat. Stir in enchilada sauce, corn, chiles, 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide the filling evenly into the ramekins and top with remaining cheeses.
- Place into oven and bake until bubbly around the edges, about 5 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

I made this last night for a small gathering and yes, it is amazing! It was simple to throw together and just plain tasty. I will definitely be making this again.
Could you mix all the ingredients together ahead of time and then put it in the ramekins when ready to cook?
You most definitely can – we’ve done that before with the leftovers and it tasted just as good!
This looks amazing! (But I’m sure you already knew that) I was wondering if you would make any changes to put this together in a crockpot? I think I’d like to take this to a ladies meeting, but we don’t have an oven at our church… And the guys would love this for poker night. (p.s. I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!)
You might be able to but I’m not entirely sure how long you would need to leave it in the crockpot as I have never done it myself. Hope that helps!
In your description of the recipe, you said it had roasted corn in it but in the ingredient listing, just a can of corn. How do I roast the corn?
Thanks for pointing that out – fixed! I actually use the frozen roasted corn kernels from Trader Joe’s.
This dip looks incredible, my mouth is watering all over the place!
I love Mexican-inspired food and this dip looks amazing ! One question though- I am super sensitive to spicy foods, does the taste suffer if I skip the chiles? Thanks 🙂
I honestly can’t say if the dish suffers without the chiles but the green chiles barely adds any spice!
Looks so good why wait for a football game?
LOVING this!! I’m a sucker for any kind of dip + any kind of enchilada, and this look ah-mazing…
This is right on time. I’m having an impromptu football get together on Sunday and was wondering what I would make. Thanks!
Will be making this tempting dish this weekend.
Okay how genius are you!? I am in awe of your crowd pleasing, tummy filling abilities.
The food is my favorite part about football too! Loving this dip so so much!
So simple and tasty!
This looks incredible
What??Not liking football is almost un-American!! Get with it and snack on….
Now that is pure football food! As the only female in a house full of guys, I know exactly how you feel. I’m usually whipping up football snacks for the boys while they watch all the games 😉
This looks wonderful. Such a great idea!!
The best thing about games are the food.. duh. hehehe I’m loving this enchilada dip!
