Layered Taco Dip with Meat

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 (1.25 ounce) packages mild taco seasoning mix (such as McCormick), divided
• 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 (16 ounce) package shredded lettuce
• 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa, or to taste

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; season with 1 package taco seasoning mix. Drain and discard grease. Let beef cool completely.

Stir sour cream, cream cheese, and remaining taco seasoning mix together in a bowl until smooth.

Spread sour cream mixture onto a baking sheet to cover. Sprinkle about half the Cheddar cheese over the sour cream layer; top evenly with the ground beef, lettuce, and remaining Cheddar cheese, respectively. Spoon salsa over the dip.

Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
