Instructions
Oven Baked Method-
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Heat a skillet on medium high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and brown for about 4-5 minutes, breaking apart the meat as it cooked.
- Add in the 2 tablespoons taco seasoning and salsa and mix to combine and let simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- In a casserole dish, add softened cream cheese, sour cream, 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, taco meat mixture, and shredded cheese and mix until well combined.
- Top with additional shredded cheese.
- Bake at 350°F uncovered for 20-5 or until bubbly and cheese has melted.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve plain or top with taco toppings and then serve.
Slow Cooker Method-
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart. Cook until fully browned, making sure to drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and salsa, mixing thoroughly. Allow the mixture to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the taco meat mixture to your crockpot. Add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, additional taco seasoning and shredded cheese. You do not need to mix everything immediately, as the ingredients will melt and combine as the dip cooks.
- Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally, ensuring the dip is cooking evenly. You’ll know it’s ready when it becomes bubbly, and everything has melted into a smooth, creamy dip.
- Once fully melted and heated through, stir a final time to combine the ingredients. Top with your favorite taco toppings and serve.
- Keep the dip on the “warm” setting in your crockpot to ensure it stays hot while serving.
