Taco Dip with Meat

Taco Dip with Meat is an easy dip recipe that’s perfect for sharing. Seasoned cream cheese is layered with taco meat and all your favorite toppings to make this simple recipe.

This taco dip with meat recipe is the ultimate mashup! It’s 7 Layer Dip, taco salad, and cream cheese dip all rolled into one.

Technically, this is a dip recipe, since it has a cream cheese base. However, it’s almost entirely a taco salad, too, if you remove the cream cheese.

Regardless of what you call it, this taco dip is packed with flavor, easy to make, and there’s plenty for sharing. It also refrigerates and heats well, which is great for leftovers.

How to Make Taco Dip with Meat:

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and 1 ounce of taco seasoning. Cook until no pink remains, drain, and set aside.

Take a block of softened cream cheese (not the tub version), and place it in a bowl with the sour cream and the second ounce of taco seasoning. Use a spoon or hand mixer to mix the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Grab an 8 x 8 -inch dish, a 9 x 9-inch dish, a 9 -inch deep dish pie plate, or a 9 -inch tart pan and begin layering the ingredients. Start with the cream cheese mixture, and use a spatula to smooth it in an even layer across the bottom.

Next, add the ground beef mixture. Spoon it over the cream cheese mixture in an even layer.

Add the shredded cheese over the ground beef. Then layer on your favorite toppings.

We used shredded iceberg lettuce, diced vine-ripened tomatoes, and sliced jalapenos. Enjoy immediately, or store in the refrigerator until ready to eat!
