⭐ How to Make Meaty Texas Trash Dip
7 Easy Directions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar casserole dish.
2. Cook the Ground Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked.
Drain excess grease and return to heat.
3. Add Taco Seasoning
Stir in the taco seasoning and ¼ cup water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the beef is fully coated and flavorful.
4. Prepare the Cheese Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and Monterey Jack.
Mix until smooth and creamy.
5. Combine Beef and Cheese
Fold the cooked, seasoned beef into the cheese mixture until evenly combined.
Spread this mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
6. Top the Dip
Sprinkle diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions over the top.
Optional: add sliced jalapeños or a little extra shredded cheese.
7. Bake and Serve
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggies for dipping.
