Instructions

Cook the Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Pro tip: Use lean beef to minimize grease.

Sauté Vegetables

Add chopped onion, red bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

Add Flavourings

Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well.

Pro tip: Adjust sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter dip.

Add Jalapeño

Add the diced jalapeño and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld.

Pro tip: For more heat, include the seeds of the jalapeño.

Transfer to Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake the Dip

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Pro tip: Broil for the last minute for a golden cheese crust.
