Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 lb lean ground beef
- 2 (15-oz) cans Manwich sloppy joe sauce
- 2 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat to reduce greasiness.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, two cans of Manwich sloppy joe sauce, softened cream cheese, and 1½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well mixed.
- Assemble the Dip: Spread the beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute the Manwich sauce with your favorite sloppy joe sauce if desired.
- For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.
- Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette for dipping.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
