# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Once it’s out of the oven, top with whatever extras you like. Enjoy hot with some fresh veggie sticks or crunchy tortilla chips.
02 -
Let it cook for 25 to 30 minutes, until it’s bubbling around the edges and the top is a little golden.
03 -
Pour everything into your greased dish and smooth it out. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese right on top.
04 -
Stir the beef you just made into the creamy bean mix. Make sure it’s all spread through evenly.
05 -
Toss cream cheese, sour cream, refried beans, salsa, green chiles, half of your cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder into a big bowl. Mix it all together until it’s nice and smooth.
06 -
Add your taco seasoning and water to the browned beef. Let that simmer for another couple minutes, just until it thickens up.
07 -
Grab a skillet and cook the ground beef over medium heat. Make sure all the pink is gone, then pour off extra fat.
08 -
Turn your oven on to 175°C. Give a 23×23 cm baking pan a quick spray or some oil so stuff doesn’t stick.
