Pretty basic but always a hit and I'm always asked to bring this to potlucks and showers! I got this recipe from my friend Mandy and I monkeyed with it, as I do with all recipes. Since it can be fattening, I do try and use lean/light products and it tastes just as great but by all means, you can use the full fat options. Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package light cream cheese |
1 cup light sour cream |
3/4 cup light mayonnaise |
1 lb lean ground beef |
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope low-sodium taco seasoning |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1/2 cup medium salsa, to taste |
1 dash tabasco sauce (optional) |
1 -2 cup iceberg lettuce, chopped medium |
1 -2 ripe tomato, diced medium |
1/2 cup sliced black olives (approx) |
jalapeno, diced, to taste |
2 cups shredded cheese, of your choice (i use sharp cheddar and jack) |
Directions:
1. Mix first three ingredients well (I use my mix-master), spread in layer on a round serving plate and chill in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
2. Fry ground beef and drain, on low heat add taco seasoning, tomato sauce, salsa and Tabasco till well mixed then cool.
3. Spread cooled meat mixture over cream cheese mixture to cover.
4. Sprinkle the lettuce, tomato, black olives and jalapenos evenly over the meat layer, to cover.
5. Top it all off with the cheese and serve with tortila or nacho chips.
6. I usually make this at night for the next day.
7. Be prepared, it goes fast!
