1 pound ground beef

Transfer to 13x9 glass dish.
In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, sour cream, garlic and 2 tablespoons (or 1 envelope) taco seasoning until smooth and creamy.
8 oz cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, 2 cloves garlic, 4 tablespoons taco seasoning or 2 envelopes - divided in half
Spread evenly over bean mixture.
Top with cheeses, tomatoes and any other toppings you like.
1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese - or your favorite cheese, 2 tomatoes, 3 greens onions with tops, 2.25 oz black olives, 2 tablespoons cilantro, Jalapeno slices, Avocado
This is best if you chill it before serving. I recommend covering the dish with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and chilling for 30-45 minutes. This gives all the flavors a chance to meld together.
Serve with additional sour cream and tortilla chips.

Notes

Taco Dip can also be heated to melt the cheese and warm the filling.
Place in 350-degree F oven for 15-20 minutes BEFORE adding any additional toppings
The meat can be omitted for a vegetarian option.
