I have made this for my kids for years and even now that they're young adults it remains a favorite with them--you just can't get enough of this stuff. I vary this slightly, using only 8 ounces of full-fat sour cream. I also use chopped green onion rather than green pepper. This time I got smart and made a double recipe!

Made as is, there really isn't much taco flavor to the dip. Next time I will add another packet of taco seasoning. And, no, i didn't add the lettuce because it does get wilty and yucky, as other readers have stated.

Great dip! Skipped the lettuce layer and used chuncky style salsa instead of the tomatoes. Also, added a layer of refried beans. Not a drop left!

This is a great dip that my family has made since I was a little girl. We do ours a little differently though - we use cottage cheese instead of sour cream, add 1/4 c. taco sauce to the cream cheese mixture, and pour the rest of the bottle of sauce on top of the mixture. We don't use lettuce, green peppers or olives, but we add green onions, green chilies and jalapenos. Delish!!

I followed Stacey508's advice by adding a little cayenne and then layering salsa, taco cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and black olives on top - no bell peppers. Since I didn't have the real taco cheese I used regular cheddar with a little more taco seasoning sprinkled on. Since I use the Taco Seasoning I recipe from this site, it's easy to make a little extra! Oh, and I used plain nonfat yogurt instead of sour cream and you can't tell the difference! This dip is yummy! This will definitely be a regular in my rotation.

Great dip! My aunt has been making this one for as long as I can remember. I was glad to find the recipe here without having to bother her for it. I omit the green peppers and olives.
