Beefy Taco Dip
Gluten Free Living – 2024
We served this Beefy Taco Dip for company back in early March and we all loved it! I ate gobs and gobs of this delicious stuff. Whether you serve it with Fritos, Tortilla Chips or Nacho Cheese Doritos, this fantastic appetizer is spectacular for any kind of party. It’s made with several layers including a cream cheese layer, a ground beef layer and then it’s layered with lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, bell pepper and cheddar cheese. It’s so, so satisfying.

We had a few friends from church over for dinner the first weekend in March. I decided on a Tex-Mex themed night and made a Spicy Nacho Bake for the main dish. I added a Southwestern Layered Salad, an East Texas Mexican Cornbread, my favorite Chunky Homemade Guacamole, a Chunky Maple Applesauce and this Beefy Taco Dip as an appetizer. Others brought desserts and appetizers as well. It was a feast and while we enjoyed everything, this Beefy Taco Dip was certainly a favorite.
Because I had so many things to make that day, I made up the whole appetizer ahead and added the lettuce, tomatoes and other toppings right away, rather than adding them last minute before serving. I didn’t think it lessened the effect or taste of the appetizer and it sure made it easier for me to not have to worry about adding and chopping things when I’m trying to get other hot dishes ready.
If you enjoy Tex-Mex appetizers, Beefy Taco Dip is sure to please. While the recipe does have several steps, this is an excellent option for tailgating parties, potlucks and anytime you have company over for dinner. It makes up a lot so it’s great for a crowd. Enjoy.
