  • Add 3 tablespoons vegetable oil to an 8-inch cast-iron pan over high heat, then add thawed ground beef, paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder and cook beef for 5 to 7 minutes until browned.
  • Remove beef with slotted spoon and set aside; add onions to pan and cook until caramelized, about 90 seconds.
  • Whisk flour into onions and cook for about 10 seconds, then add heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce, bring to a boil, then immediately reduce to a low-heat simmer.
  • Then whisk in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and room temperature cream cheese; continue whisking until cheeses have fully melted and emulsified into a cream-like consistency over about 2 minutes.
  • Stir browned beef into cheese sauce, season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from heat.
  • Top with remaining cheddar and mozzarella shredded cheeses and place under broiler on low setting until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Top with lettuce and tomatoes and a drizzle of previously prepared sauce.
  • Serve dip and remaining sauce with tortilla or potato chips.
