Mexican Layer Dip
- Ready In:
- 2hrs
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
10
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
- 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning
- 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
- 1 cup sour cream (or more if desired)
- 1 cup salsa (I use chunky salsa)
- 4 cups taco-seasoned cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1⁄2 cup chopped tomato
- 1⁄2 cup green onion, chopped
- 1 -2 tablespoon taco sauce
- sliced jalapeno (optional)
directions
- Brown your beef and drain the fat. Follow package directions on taco seasoning to season beef. Let cool to room temperature.
- In a small bowl, mix the beans with taco sauce. The reason I put taco sauce in the beans is to make them a little less stiff and easier to scoop off the bottom of the dish. Use your best judgement.
- Spread the bean mixture evenly on the bottom of a 13x9 dish. This dish should be at least 1 1/2 inches deep.
- Sprinkle 2 cups of the cheese on top of the bean mixture.
- Sprinkle room temperature beef on top of cheese. Make sure it is not hot at all!
- Carefully spread sour cream on top of beef, very slowly. To make it easier, you might choose to dollop it in different places and use a spatula. This is the trickiest part.
- On top of sour cream add your salsa and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top.
- Top with green onions, tomatoes, and jalapenos if desired.
- You may serve this dish right away or you can chill it for a couple of hours and serve cold. It is excellent either way!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Just a college student trying to feed myself right! If I do say so myself, I might be catching up to my mom. She makes such WONDERFUL food but never ever wrote a recipe in her life. Growing up.. mom worked so hard (still does) and just didnt have time to show me how to cook. So I try to find recipes to recreate what I remember loving when I lived with them. I call her to ask how to make something and she says "well you know some of this, a little of that.." Oh mommmmm. :) She now frequently gives me the cooking reigns and I am honored. Would NOT be possible without all of the fantastic recipes on RecipeZaar! I attend UNCW here in Wilmington, NC. I hope to teach 5th grade one day soon! Cooking is so much fun to me I could spend hours looking for new recipes My boyfriend supports my habit as well, haha.
I wish I had more recipes to post that are original but as I said before.. I don't have very many. I am trying to experiment and come up with my own "style." I have gotten to be an expert grocery shopper! It's probably in my top 3 favorite things to do! Hah!
