Taco Dip with Ground Beef
Description
The recipe begins by browning ground beef, then seasoning it with taco spices and cooking briefly with salsa and water to infuse flavor and maintain moisture. Separately, cream cheese and sour cream are combined with complementary taco seasoning to form a smooth and tangy base.
The creamy mixture is spread in a dish, then topped with the cooked beef, shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, diced tomato, and sliced olives. This layering creates a variety of textures and bright flavors in each scoop.
This dip is suitable for serving immediately but can be prepared ahead by browning the beef and mixing the creamy layer separately. The layers with fresh vegetables should be assembled just before serving to maintain crispness. It pairs well with tortilla chips for scooping at parties or casual meals.
The instructions highlight draining excess grease from the beef and dividing seasoning between cooking the meat and the creamy mix, balancing flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 Tbsp taco seasoning Divided (or 1 packet)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 16 oz sour cream
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 cups iceberg lettuce shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 tomato diced, medium
- 1/4 cup olives sliced
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat. Drain off the excess grease. Then stir in 1 Tbsp of the taco seasoning (or 1/2 a packet), the salsa and water into the heat. Cook uncovered for 2-4 minutes.
- In a separate large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sour cream and the remaining taco seasoning with a hand held mixer.
- Then spread the cream cheese mixture in the bottom of a 8X8 or 9X9 pan. Top with the ground beef, shredded lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and sliced olives.
- Serve with chips and enjoy!
Notes
- Prepare the dip layers ahead but assemble only before serving to keep vegetables crisp.
- Drain grease from cooked ground beef to prevent a greasy dip.
