ingredients
1 package (8 ounce size) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 pound ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning mix
1 can (8 ounce size) tomato sauce
2 cups shredded cheddar or taco cheese
4 cups shredded lettuce
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
tortilla chips or corn chips
directions
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Beat on low speed until smooth and combined. Spread the cream cheese mixture on a 12-inch flat plate or serving dish. Place the dish in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set.
Meanwhile, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is browned. Drain off any excess grease. Return the pan to the heat and stir in the taco seasoning and tomato sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the beef mixture cool completely. Spread the cooled beef over the cream cheese layer on the plate. Return the plate to the refrigerator for another hour.
Just before serving, sprinkle the top of the beef layer with the cheese, lettuce, diced tomato, diced onion, and diced bell pepper. Serve with tortilla chips or corn chips for dipping.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
