Hot Baked Taco Dip

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons hot taco sauce, or more to taste
  • 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) package tortilla chips, or more as needed

Method

  1. Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Use cooking spray to coat a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  2. Place a large skillet on the heat. Brown the ground beef in it, stirring until crumbly, for 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off the fat. Mix in the chopped bell pepper and the taco seasoning. Transfer this mixture to the prepared dish.
  3. Scatter the chopped tomato and green onions over the beef layer. Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of hot taco sauce on top. Cover this with the sour cream, then finish with the shredded Cheddar cheese.
  4. Place the dish in the oven and bake until the cheese has melted and is bubbling, which will take 10 to 20 minutes. Offer tortilla chips alongside for serving.
