Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup green onions, sliced
- 1 bag tortilla chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning to the cooked ground beef along with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Stir well and let simmer until fully combined. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
Spread the refried beans evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer the seasoned ground beef over the refried beans.
Spread the cream cheese and sour cream mixture over the ground beef layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Layer on the cold toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions. Spread them evenly across the top.
Serve the dip warm and cold alongside tortilla chips for dipping.
