Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet (30g) taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 4 oz sour cream
  • 1/2 cup diced Roma tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:

  1. Place the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Break the meat apart with a spatula and cook until fully browned and sizzling. Drain any excess grease to prevent the cream cheese from separating.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, simmering for 3–5 minutes until the liquid thickens into a glossy glaze.
  3. In a mixing bowl or the skillet, combine the cooked beef with softened cream cheese and sour cream. Stir vigorously until the mixture is uniform and velvety.
  4. Transfer the beef mixture into a 9x9 inch baking dish and top evenly with shredded Mexican blend cheese.
  5. Broil for 2–3 minutes or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
  6. Top with fresh diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro immediately before serving.
