Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup chopped lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup sliced black olives
- Optional: sliced jalapeños for some heat
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s nearly cooked through, drain any excess fat, and stir in the taco seasoning. Follow the packet instructions and set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. This creamy layer is where the magic happens!
- Now grab a beautiful glass dish (or any dish you have) and start layering. First, spread the cream cheese and sour cream mixture evenly on the bottom.
- Next, layer the seasoned ground beef on top of the cream mixture, followed by your favorite salsa. Get that juicy flavor in there!
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa. Feel free to add more cheese if you’re a cheese lover!
- Now it’s time for the fresh toppings. Spread the chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced black olives generously on top of the cheese.
- If you like it spicy, throw on some jalapeños for that kick! You do you, boo!
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows all those amazing flavors to meld together nicely.
- When you’re ready to serve, grab your tortilla chips and dig in! Enjoy the layers of flavor and don’t forget to share… or not!
So there you have it, folks! This Layered Taco Dip is a perfect party dish or a tasty snack for movie night. Make sure to try it out, and let me know how it turns out. Happy cooking!
