This dip was fabulous! I made it using only 1lb. of ground beef and I let it cook a bit more after adding the taco sauce to boil off some of the liquid. I also started with a layer of refried beans (1 can), and omitted the lettuce. Tip: make sure the cream cheese is very soft and add the sour cream gradually or you will have sour cream with lumps of cream cheese throughout. Definitely a keeper!

I served this for a bunch of 18 year old kids who play high school soccer and recieved many compliments. I doubled the recipe and it create an entire casserole size that was at least 2 inches thick. I think one serving is probably enough for most parties. Great recipe!

I took the advice of other reviews and used a 9x13 and added refried beans as the bottom layer (2 cans). The suggestion for putting in a can of chili with no beans in with the cream cheese mixture was excellent. My guests ate it, but didn't devour it. It was good for leftovers also. Did use lettuce as decorative border as suggested.

Delicious dip! I only used a little over one pound and found that to be more than enough meat. I also added some onion and pepper to the meat while it was cooking to give it a kick. Overall great recipe!

I made the Fantastic Mexican Dip for the LSU vs. Oklahoma Sugar Bowl Game. Geux Tigers!!! I made it in a 9X13 pyrex lasagna pan. Worked out well. That solves the problem when other reviewers said that it was too much meat. It spread it out further. I also put some hot sauce along with the taco sauce in the meat mixture. It needed a little spice. Next time I will use the new bottled Taco Bell Restaurant Sauce (Hot) instead of the taco sauce. I also used more green onions than it called for and an extra tomato. It work out wonderful. I will use this recipe again. My husband said it is better than the 7 layer dip that I use to make.

Made this for a party. Everyone who ate it, loved it. I had a small casserole dish to put it in, so I only used 1 lb. of meat and 8 oz. of taco sauce and just enough cheese to cover the previous layer. I was a little fuzzy on how to layer, so I spread half the cream cheese/sour cream mixture in the bottom of the dish, then added the meat, then spread the rest of the sour cream/ cream cheese mixture over the meat, then added the cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, green onion and olives. I served at room temp and it was delicious. My husband and I have been warming it up since then, and it is still awesome. I would definitely make this again.

Fantastic ;) I added refried beans to the bottom on half for the boys and canned, drained diced green chiles, (2) 7-oz. cans, on the whole thing for an extra little something. Worked great!

I made this for a party and they didn't really liked it. I really did not care for it, to much meat. Will not make again.

Fantastic? I don't think so! 2 lbs of ground beef is ALOT (esspecially to later waste). Is this suppossed to be served while the meat is still warm right after the dish is put together or when the dish is cold? I choose cold (like other 7-layer taco dips I've made before) and it was terrible. Afterall, do YOU like eating cold hamburger? How about 2 lbs of it? It almost made me choke! You can hardly taste anything else! I then tried to heat it up a few min in the microwave and then the lettuce and cream cheese gets wilted and all melty (I know that's not a word...). Even my boyfriend, who eats almost anything...stuck his nose up at this. Nothing personal Bumblebee, but I will never make this again.

I brought this dish to a baby shower and ended up giving the recipe to two people there. Everyone loved it and remarked on how good it would also be as a meal. Just crumble some chips or corn torilla and serve dip on top. Anyway you serve it, it was really good and a big hit!

I hope I don't get scowled at for saying this but let's put it this way: I didn't achieve nirvana or anything by eating this. We had a mexican-themed dinner and served this as a side. I sprinkled some taco-blend cheese overall. I really liked the taste of the cream cheese/sour cream mix but I wasn't too keen on the meat part. It was still good but IF I make it with meat, I'll use only a 1/2 lb, otherwise I use none at all. Good stuff, but I wasn't "wowed." Thanks just the same Bumblebee!

I have made and eaten a lot of seven layer dips. This one is by far the best I have tasted so far. The cream cheese mixture on the bottom gives a lot more flavor than sour cream along. The meat doesn't get clumpy like it does when you use taco seasoning on it, but it still has a lot of flavor. I have found a new Mexican dip recipe.
