  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

This Meaty Texas Trash Dip combines layers of crisp turkey bacon, savory sausage, hearty ground beef, and a creamy salsa-spiked base topped with melted cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Finished with jalapeños, cilantro, and green onions, it’s perfect for game day and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 8 oz beef sausage, sliced ¼″ rounds
  • 2 slices turkey bacon, chopped
  • ½ cup chicken ham, diced
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup salsa roja (mild or medium)
  • 4 oz chopped green chiles (canned)
  • 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 Tbsp chopped green onions
  • Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped turkey bacon about 3 minutes until crisping.
  2. Add beef sausage rounds; cook until golden brown. Transfer meats to paper-towel-lined plate.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high; add ground beef, season lightly with salt and pepper, cook 5–6 minutes until no pink remains. Drain excess grease if needed.
  4. Return turkey bacon and sausage to skillet; stir to combine with ground beef. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Fold in salsa roja and chopped green chiles.
  6. Spread creamy mixture evenly in a 9″ pie dish or oven-safe skillet, reaching edges.
  7. Top with meat mixture, spreading evenly.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over meat layer.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake dip for 15–18 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from oven; let rest 2 minutes. Garnish with jalapeños, cilantro, and green onions.
  11. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.

Notes

Make ahead by preparing creamy base and meat mixture separately; refrigerate up to 24 hours. Add refried beans under meat for extra heartiness. For vegetarian version, substitute meats with seasoned tofu or mushrooms and use vegetarian sausage.
