Description

This Roasted Garlic and Creamy Beef Dip with Hot Honey is a rich, flavorful appetizer perfect for gatherings. Slow-roasted garlic melds beautifully with a creamy blend of cream cheese, sour cream, and Parmesan, combined with tender chopped beef and a hint of black pepper. Baked until golden and bubbly, and drizzled with spicy-sweet hot honey, this dip is delightfully savory with a subtle kick of heat, ideal for serving with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetable sticks.

Ingredients

Scale

Roasted Garlic

  • 2 heads of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Dip Base

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Protein and Garnish

  • 4 ounces cooked and finely chopped beef
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Topping

  • 1/4 cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the garlic.
  2. Roast Garlic: Slice the tops off the two garlic heads, drizzle them with olive oil, then wrap them tightly in foil. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the garlic cloves become golden, soft, and fragrant. Allow to cool slightly after roasting.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  4. Add Roasted Garlic: Squeeze the softened roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a paste and stir this flavorful garlic into the cream cheese mixture evenly.
  5. Incorporate Beef and Chives: Fold in the finely chopped cooked beef along with half of the chopped fresh chives, mixing gently to distribute them throughout the dip.
  6. Bake the Dip: Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Place it in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the dip is hot, bubbly, and turning golden on top.
  7. Add Hot Honey and Garnish: Remove the baked dip from the oven and immediately drizzle the top with hot honey. Sprinkle the remaining chopped chives over the dip for a fresh, colorful garnish.
  8. Serve: Serve the warm dip with an assortment of crackers, bread slices, or vegetable sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor when roasting.
  • Ensure the beef is finely chopped to blend well with the creamy texture.
  • Hot honey can be store-bought or homemade by combining honey with chili flakes.
  • This dip can be prepared a few hours ahead; just reheat before serving.
  • Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a slightly tangier taste and lower fat option.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days.
