Ingredients

  • *1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
  • *1 pound lean ground beef
  • *1 cup water
  • *1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • *1 ½ cups salsa
  • *1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Set your oven to warm up to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Use a spatula to spread the cream cheese across the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking pan in a uniform layer.

Step 3

Sauté the ground beef in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it is browned, broken into small pieces, and fully cooked, which should take roughly 5 to 10 minutes. Mix in the taco seasoning and water, then let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until most of the liquid has disappeared.

Step 4

Layer the seasoned beef over the cream cheese base, cover it with a layer of salsa, and finish with a dusting of Cheddar cheese.

Step 5

Bake the dish inside the heated oven for around 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the mixture is bubbling.
