# How to Make It:
01 -
Take your dish out of the oven, pile on whatever toppings you want, and grab those chips or sliced veggies to dip in while it’s hot.
02 -
Slide the dish into the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until you spot golden patches and the edges are bubbling.
03 -
Pour everything into your greased pan and flatten out the top. Use the rest of the cheese to cover it.
04 -
Mix your seasoned meat into the creamy base so it’s all blended.
05 -
Start by stirring cream cheese, sour cream, beans, salsa, chiles, half your cheese, onion powder, and garlic powder together in a big bowl. Make sure it’s smooth.
06 -
Stir in your taco mix and water to the browned beef. Let it simmer down for a couple of minutes til most of the liquid’s gone.
07 -
Cook ground beef in your skillet over medium heat. Once it’s fully browned with no pink showing, drain out the fat.
08 -
Set your oven to 175°C and grease up a 23 by 23cm pan so nothing sticks.
# Additional Tips:

You can mix this up to a day ahead and keep it chilled until you’re ready to bake.

If you like things spicy, use hot salsa or toss in half a teaspoon cayenne pepper.
