### **How to Make Texas Trash Dip**
#### **Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef**
1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat into small crumbles as it cooks.
2. Once the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink, drain any excess grease. Return the beef to the skillet.
#### **Step 2: Add Taco Seasoning and Simmer**
1. Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the cooked beef and stir to combine. Follow the instructions on the seasoning packet, typically adding about 1/4 cup of water.
2. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
#### **Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Base**
1. While the beef simmers, in a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.
#### **Step 4: Assemble the Dip**
1. Preheat your oven to **375°F (190°C)**.
2. In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread the refried beans evenly at the bottom.
3. Layer the seasoned beef mixture on top of the beans.
4. Spread the cream cheese and sour cream mixture over the beef layer.
5. Sprinkle the diced tomatoes with green chilies (do not drain) on top of the creamy layer.
6. Add the chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick (optional), followed by the shredded cheese.
7. Finish by scattering chopped green onions on top for a pop of color and flavor.
#### **Step 5: Bake and Serve**
1. Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
2. Once baked, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
**Step 6: Garnish and Enjoy**
1. If desired, top the dip with fresh cilantro, a spoonful of salsa, or some guacamole for added flavor.
2. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping, or you can also serve it with sliced vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for a healthier option.
