Loaded Taco Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Spread cream cheese in an even layer in the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish.
• Cook and stir beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. Add water and taco seasoning mix; stir. Simmer until most of the liquid evaporates, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Spread meat mixture over the cream cheese in the baking dish. Pour salsa over meat mixture. Top with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake taco dip in preheated oven until bubbling and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Brown ground beef, chopped bacon, onion and garlic together until done. Drain well. Sprinkle meat mixture with taco seasoning and stir. Put a liner in a 5 quart crock pot. I always use a crock pot liner as I hate cleaning cooked-on cheese out of my crock pot. If you don't use a liner, spray the crock pot well with non-stick spray before adding beef mixture. Dump beef mixture into crock pot. Set temperature at low.
• 2. Add in the quart of chunky salsa and stir. I generally use mild or moderate but if you like it fiery, use hot. Stir in the black and green olives, diced green chilies, milk and cubed Velveeta. Let cook on low for at least an hour, stirring occasionally. Turn crock pot down to keep warm setting and serve.
