I love this recipe. My family loved it as well. I cooked the beef with green onions, added garlic, then made a mistake after reading another reviewers addition. I added a can of Rotel to the meat, a jar of taco sauce and cooked it down. I was trying to make a little bigger recipe, so I added an extra cream cheese, then worried about the taco flavoring not being enough. I added an envelope of Fiesta Hidden Valley Ranch Dip mix to it. Layered it and it was excellent!

I made this for a party recently (and will for the next party coming up this month) and it was a super hit! As soon as it hit the table people crowded around it and stayed there until it was all gone! Anyway, I omitted the olives (mexican dip with onion & olives? - confusion) and the lettuce (afraid they would wilt). Only added 1lb of beef, 2lbs for the amount of salsa is just too much. Added some flavor to the ground beef with some seasoning before I added the salsa and let it simmer for quite some time until the meat was really tender. Consider doubling the recipe with 1lb of meat because it will be gone FAST!

I made this dish for a going away party; what a hit!!! I changed the meat to one lb GB and one lb hot sausage. I left out the lettuce as it was not going to be served for a few hours after preperation. Everyone begged of rthe recipe!!

I made this for a cookout recently and everybody loved it! Everyone wanted the recipe because they liked it so much. I did follow advice from others and used only 1 lb. of beef, used whipped cream cheese, and I also left off the tomatoes and olives because several people there don't care for them. Other than that I left everything else as it was and it turned out really well. Will be making again!

This recipe is great. It has become my staple at all parties and there is never any leftovers. Four things I do a little differently, however; one, I only use half the beef, two, instead of taco sauce I'll mix the beef with a mild to medium salsa, three, don't include the olives, and four I use the hot & spicy taco seasoning. I also find if it is serve at room tempurature it is easier to scoop but bring out the spoons just in case. Love this dish!

I've made this dip many times and everyone loves it. I do add refried beans at the bottom and only use 1-lb of ground beef. Otherwise it is perfect and always goes fast!

Good, but nothing special. (I'd actually prefer just a standard 7-layer dip.) Probably will not make again.

Pretty good...it is a thick dip so your chips break pretty easily in it. And its almost like a taco salad. We had plenty of leftovers and it was good the next day. :)

This recipe is wonderful. Have made it lots of times. I also use salsa in addition to chopped tomato and chopped green pepper. Jalepeno pieces also add flavor.

Awesome dip! Recipe says medium bowl, you will need a 13x9 baking dish, I used one a bit smaller because it said medium and I ran out of room. It tastes great!! The third time I made this I halfed the ground beef to 1 lb, it's good either way, but with 1 lb, you definitely taste the cream cheese/sour cream mixture more. Better at room temperature. Next time I might prepare the cream cheese mixture ahead and spread it into the dish, cover with foil and store in fridge overnight before putting everything else on it because the mixture is much more flavorful the next day.

This was so-so...only half was consumed at the party. It was missing something - maybe refried beans and a bit more spice - although I did use 'hot' taco seasoning. I probably won't make this again...

I wish there were more stars, this was amazing. Only one problem, it went too fast!! Make double as this will be a crowd pleaser. I had 15 guests and 1 quantily lasted less than 20 minutes.

I've been making this for awhile now and if I'm going to any type of function and ask what to bring many times I'm told that I can bring nothing else but this!! It's really good! I've made it with and without refried beans due to some peoples tastes and it's great both ways!!

This recipie turned out great. Quick and easy! My bible study group loved it. I changed two things. Instead of fresh tomatoes I used a can of rotel and drained of the juice. I also omitted the lettuce since my dip would not be eaten right away and was not sure if the lettuce would wilt. It turned out fantastic.

This recipe was a good, solid taco dip recipe. We enjoyed in on Superbowl weekend. We did change it slightly, adding 1/2 the meat and some beans as well. We will save it again for party food! Good scooped up in tortillas or on chips.
