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
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Spread cream cheese in an even layer in the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Cook and stir beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. Add water and taco seasoning mix; stir. Simmer until most of the liquid evaporates, 3 to 5 minutes.
