Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1/2 onion (diced)

  • 16 oz brick-style cream cheese softened to room temperature

  • 2 cups sour cream

  • 1 packet & 1/2 packet taco seasoning mix (I prefer Taco Bell but you can use your favorite)

  • 1 can refried beans

  • 1 16 oz can refried beans (drained)

  • 1 cup finely chopped lettuce

  • 1/2 cup salsa

  • 1/2 cup fresh jalapenos (optional)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese

  • 5 Roma tomatoes chopped

  • green onions (optional)

  • Tortilla chips for serving

Directions

  • In a pan over medium high heat brown the beef until no pink remains. Drain and rinse.
  • Add 1 package of taco seasoning and ½ cup water. Simmer 5 minutes or until thickened. Add the onions and cook for 2 more minutes.

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the refried beans and half packet of another taco seasoning pack, mix well. In a 9×13 baking dish or serving plate, place the beans and taco seasoning mix into the dish. Then add the beef mixture over the beans.
  • In a medium bowl combine softened cream cheese and sour cream in a large bowl and with a mixer mix together until well combined. Add this on top of the beef.
  • Top with shredded lettuce, salsa, jalapenos (optional), cheddar cheese, Mexican cheese and tomatoes. *Top with a handful of green onions if you’d like.*
  • Serve immediately or cover and store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
