🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the Ground Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the beef, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside.
2. Mix the Base
In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef, chives, Worcestershire sauce, sour cream, cream cheese, and dried parsley. Stir until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the Velveeta
Fold in the cubed Velveeta so it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Choose Your Cooking Method
- Slow Cooker: Transfer the dip to a slow cooker, cover, and cook on low for 1–2 hours, stirring occasionally, until hot and melty.
- Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Spread the dip into a baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
5. Serve & Enjoy
Serve warm with tortilla chips, pita chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables like celery, carrot sticks, and bell peppers.
This ground beef dip is creamy, cheesy, and absolutely irresistible—one of those appetizers people will be begging you to make again and again.
