Step-by-Step Instructions for Football Dip
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and no pink remains. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. In a large baking dish, spread a layer of softened cream cheese across the bottom. Spoon in the salsa, and sprinkle on the taco seasoning evenly. Add the cooked ground beef and gently mix all the ingredients together.
  3. Top off the mixture with shredded cheddar cheese, covering the entire surface evenly.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the dish for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Let the dip cool for a few minutes before serving with tortilla chips, veggies, or baguette slices.
