Layered Taco Dip with Meat Recipe

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 (1.25 ounce) packages mild taco seasoning mix (such as McCormick®), divided
  • 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (16 ounce) package shredded lettuce
  • 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa, or to taste
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; season with 1 package taco seasoning mix. Drain and discard grease. Let beef cool completely.
  2. Stir sour cream, cream cheese, and remaining taco seasoning mix together in a bowl until smooth.
  3. Spread sour cream mixture onto a baking sheet to cover. Sprinkle about half the Cheddar cheese over the sour cream layer; top evenly with the ground beef, lettuce, and remaining Cheddar cheese, respectively. Spoon salsa over the dip.
  4. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
