Ingredients

For the Taco Dip:

1 lb (450g) ground beef

1 packet taco seasoning (or use homemade taco seasoning blend)

1/2 cup water

8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)

1/2 cup diced celery

1/4 cup chopped green onions

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For Serving:

Tortilla chips

Instructions:

1. Cook the Taco-Seasoned Ground Beef:

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Add taco seasoning and water. Stir and simmer for 3–4 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.

2. Mix the Creamy Cheese Base:

In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy.

Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, diced celery, and chopped green onions. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

3. Assemble the Cheesy Dip:

In a large serving dish or oven-safe bowl, spread the creamy mixture evenly on the bottom.

Layer the seasoned ground beef on top. Sprinkle generously with extra shredded cheddar cheese.

4. Melt and Serve:

Microwave or broil the dip for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If using a broiler, watch closely to avoid burning.

Serve hot with crunchy tortilla chips.

Optional Toppings:

Garnish with extra green onions, chopped tomatoes, jalapeños, or fresh cilantro for added flavor and color.
