This Nacho Taco Dip recipe is the perfect party food! It's easy to make and packed with flavor and nutrients thanks to the use of Ramstead Ranch Ground Beef. The beef is cooked with taco seasoning and then combined with salsa, jalapeños, and cream cheese. The mixture is then topped with shredded cheese and sour cream (if you choose). The result is a delicious and satisfying dip that is sure to be a hit with your guests. The best part is that it can be prepped ahead of time, so you can spend more time with your guests and less time in the kitchen. Give this recipe a try and see for yourself how easy and delicious it is! Oh, and we like to freeze the leftovers for easy snacks and lunches!
