In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water (or according to package instructions). Cook for 1-2 minutes until well combined and the beef is coated in seasoning. Remove from heat.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and salsa. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch or similar-sized baking dish.
Layer the seasoned ground beef evenly over the cream cheese mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the beef layer.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions if desired.
Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping and enjoy!
