Shana's Taco Dip

I came up with this recipe a few years ago. It is a family favorite. I haven't made it for a while, but I made it on Christmas Eve and my family really enjoyed it!

1/2 lb. ground beef
8 oz. salsa
1/2 block of cream cheese, softened
4 oz. taco sauce
shredded lettuce
diced tomatoes
shredded cheddar cheese

Cook ground beef and stir in salsa. Spread cream cheese onto the bottom of a 1-quart casserole dish. Pour beef and salsa mixture on cream cheese layer. Pour taco sauce over ground beef and salsa mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes or until cream cheese is bubbly. Let cool about 15 minutes and then add lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.

Looking to feed a large crowd? For a 13x9 baking dish, use the following quantities:

1 lb. ground beef
1 block cream cheese, softened
16 oz. salsa
8 oz. taco sauce

Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 - 20 minutes.
