Ingredients

1 pound of ground beef

2 packs of taco seasoning mix

1 8 ounce package of cream cheese

16 ounces of sour cream, divided

2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, divided

16 ounces of salsa

16 ounces of guacamole

sliced black olives for garnish

green onions for garnish

Directions

Cook the ground beef until browned, then stir in one packet of taco seasoning. Put this mixture aside for later.

For the bottom layer, combine the softened cream cheese with the second packet of taco seasoning and 8 ounces of sour cream. Blend well and spread evenly across the bottom of a pie dish.

Next, add the seasoned ground beef as the second layer on top of the cream cheese mixture.

Spread the salsa over the beef layer.

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa.

Now add the guacamole on top of the cheese, spreading it to cover the entire surface.

Put the remaining 8 ounces of sour cream into a ziplock bag, snip a corner, and pipe a web pattern over the guacamole.

Around the outer edge of the dip, add extra cheddar cheese, sliced black olives, chopped green onions, and cilantro.
