Cook minced beef in a pan on medium heat till it turns brown. Pour off any extra fat.

Mix in the taco spices and 60ml water with your browned beef. Let it bubble for 2–3 minutes until liquid gets thicker.
04 -
Grab a big bowl and stir together cream cheese, sour cream, refried beans, salsa, green chiles, half your cheese, garlic granules, and onion granules until it's all smooth.
05 -
Gently stir your seasoned beef into the creamy mixture until everything's well blended.
06 -
Put all of it into your greased dish, spread it out flat. Sprinkle the rest of your cheese on top.
07 -
Stick it in your hot oven for about 25–30 minutes until you see bubbles at the edges and the cheese turns slightly golden.
08 -
Take it out, add any toppings you want. Eat it while it's hot with chips or cut veggies.
