Mom’s Famous Cheesy Church Dip

This Mom’s Legendary Cheesy Church Dip is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Imagine a “deconstructed taco” baked into a warm, gooey casserole. The magic is in the layers—the sour cream stays cool and creamy in the center while the cheese on top melts into a golden, bubbly crust. It’s called a “Church Dip” for a reason: it travels easily and disappears fast once it hits the table!

🧀 Mom’s Legendary Cheesy Church Dip

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef or sausage
• 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar/mozzarella)
• 1 cup salsa (medium heat)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• Tortilla chips, for serving

🍴 Instructions

1. Cook the meat
   In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or sausage until fully cooked.
2. Season well
   Stir in the taco seasoning with a splash of water. Let it simmer for a few minutes to bring out the flavors and keep the meat juicy.
3. Layer the dish
   Spread the seasoned meat evenly in a baking dish. Spoon salsa over the meat, then gently layer the sour cream on top.
4. Add the cheese
   Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the sour cream layer. Full coverage ensures that perfect cheesy pull with every bite.
5. Bake to perfection
   Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden on the edges.
6. Serve hot
   Serve straight from the oven with sturdy tortilla chips to scoop up all the cheesy, meaty goodness.
