Baked Taco Dip Recipe

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 1/2 cups salsa
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

  5. Bake taco dip in preheated oven until bubbling and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
