Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 heads of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 ounces cooked and finely chopped beef
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the garlic and baking the dip.
  2. Roast Garlic: Slice the tops off the garlic heads to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap them tightly in foil. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the garlic is golden and soft. Allow to cool slightly before handling.
  3. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Roasted Garlic: Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a paste, then stir this roasted garlic paste into the cheese mixture to infuse rich, caramelized flavor.
  5. Incorporate Beef and Chives: Fold the finely chopped cooked beef and half of the chopped fresh chives into the garlic-cheese mixture, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
  6. Bake the Dip: Transfer the combined mixture into an oven-safe dish and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the dip is bubbly and golden on top.
  7. Finish with Hot Honey and Garnish: Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the top with hot honey. Garnish with the remaining fresh chives for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
  8. Serve Warm: Serve the dip warm alongside crackers, slices of bread, or vegetable sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • Roasting the garlic mellows its flavor and adds sweetness, which balances the savory elements of the dip.
  • Use cooked beef such as leftover roast, steak, or ground beef sautéed with seasoning for best results.
  • Hot honey can be store-bought or homemade by infusing honey with chili flakes or other hot peppers.
  • Serve immediately while warm for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • This dip can be prepared in advance up to the baking step and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
