Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add taco seasoning and a splash of water to the beef. Cook for 1–2 minutes until well combined. Set aside.

Notes
- Make it spicier by adding chopped jalapeños or using pepper jack cheese.
- You can assemble this dip a day ahead and refrigerate—just bake before serving.
