This baked cheesy Mexican-flavored dip is always a party hit. It is easy to make, and can be tailored to your liking (try ground turkey for a healthier option).

serves/makes:

ready in:
30-60 minutes

ingredients

2 cans (10 ounce size) bean dip
1 pound ground beef
1 package taco seasoning mix
3/4 cup water
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 can (4 ounce size) chopped green chiles
4 tablespoons hot taco sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 can (4 ounce size) black olives sliced
1/2 cup finely chopped tomatoes
tortilla chips
sour cream
guacamole

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Evenly spread the bean dip in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring frequently, until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.

Stir the taco seasoning mix and water into the beef. Bring to a boil and let cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Spread the ground beef mixture over the bean dip layer.

Sprinkle the ground beef with the cheese. Distribute the green chiles over the cheese layer. Evenly drizzle with the taco sauce. Sprinkle the top with Cheddar cheese.

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes then top with the olives, green onions, and tomatoes.

Serve hot with tortilla chips with sour cream and guacamole on the side.
