Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped

1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional for heat)

Tortilla chips or sliced baguette, for serving

Instructions
 

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat.

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

      Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.

        Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the softened cream cheese until fully combined.

          Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green bell pepper, and jalapeños (if using). Mix thoroughly until the cheese is melted and everything is well incorporated.

            Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and warm it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes if needed, to ensure it's nice and hot.

              Serve the Sloppy Joe Dip with tortilla chips or slices of baguette for dipping.
