Ingredients

Scale

Meat Layer

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

Salsa Layer

  • 1 (8 oz) jar salsa (choose mild, medium, or hot based on preference)

Cheese Topping

  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking the dip.
  2. Cook Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the lean ground beef until it is no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning until the beef is well coated.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: Spread the softened cream cheese evenly across the bottom of a pie dish, creating a creamy base layer.
  4. Add Salsa Layer: Spoon and spread the salsa evenly over the cream cheese layer, adding flavor and a slight tanginess to the dip.
  5. Top with Beef: Evenly distribute the cooked and seasoned ground beef over the salsa layer.
  6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the beef layer.
  7. Bake: Cover the pie dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can adjust the heat of the dip by choosing mild, medium, or hot salsa according to your preference.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced vegetables for dipping.
  • To make ahead, assemble the dip and refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
  • For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and cheddar.
