Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese softened
  • 8 oz. sour cream
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 lb. 93% lean ground beef
  • 1 envelope Taco Seasoning or Homemade Taco Seasoning

  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook beef until no longer pink.

  • Drain any grease.
  • Add taco seasoning and tomato sauce.
  • Cook and stir for 5 minutes.

  • Sprinkle with Taco cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions and bell pepper.

Notes

NOTE: If you use 93% lean ground beef or higher, you will probably not have any grease to drain off.
 
NOTE: The original recipe called for 4 cups shredded lettuce, 2 medium tomatoes, diced, 4-6 green onions, sliced, 1 green bell pepper, diced. I thought this was overkill so I cut the toppings in half.
 
Recipe adapted from Taste of Home.
 
NOTE: The Taste of Home site links back to the WRONG recipe. But the recipe I used links back to one of their videos posted on Face Book which is the recipe I used.
