Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Cream Cheese
- 1 lb Ground Beef (fully cooked and seasoned)
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning
- 1 cup Lettuce (shredded)
- 1/2 cup Olives (sliced)
- Tortilla Chips (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Taco Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat, then sprinkle the taco seasoning. Add a splash of water and stir well. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the flavors meld.
- Mix the Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. If using, blend in some sour cream for extra creaminess.
- Layer the Dip: In your serving dish, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the bottom, layer the seasoned taco meat on top, then add the lettuce, and finish with olives.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the dip with plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour, then serve with tortilla chips for dipping!
Notes
For a spooky effect, use a spatula to create a ‘graveyard’ effect in the layers. You can make this dip a day in advance for best results.
