Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large frying pan, brown ground chuck with chopped onion, seasoned salt, garlic salt, and pepper.
- Pour off the grease from the pan.
- Add cream cheese, tomato sauce, ketchup, picante sauce, and oregano to the pan, mixing well.
- Heat slowly, stirring until the mixture is well blended and heated through.
- Serve in a chafing dish with corn chips.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier dip, consider using sour cream or Greek yogurt in place of some of the cream cheese. You can also add sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor. If you prefer a bit of heat, try using spicy picante sauce. Always taste as you go to adjust the seasoning with seasoned salt, garlic salt, and pepper. Pairing with corn chips adds a nice crunch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Beef Stroganoff Dip warm in a chafing dish to keep it heated during parties. It pairs perfectly with corn chips, but you can also offer baguette slices or vegetable sticks for dipping. This dish is great for game days or as a party appetizer, and it can be complemented with a fresh side salad or pickled vegetables.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the dip in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between, to maintain its creamy texture.
