Taco Pie Dip

Going back in time...

(picture from Penzey's website)

This recipe was given to me by the school secretary, Madeline, when we lived in Michigan...many moons ago! She was a hoot and I have such fond, funny memories of her during our years there. Some of the best years, I might add!

Taco Dip may be old-fashioned, but bring it to a party or gathering and watch it disappear every time!  It's so much fun to add your own favorite veggies and spices to this recipe too. Use your imagination and have a great time creating something others will really enjoy. 

Ingredients:

1 (16 oz.) pkg. cream cheese

2 cups sour cream

2 Tbsp. mayonnaise

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

1 avocado, mashed

1 packet of Taco Seasoning

Pepper to taste

Combine the above ingredients in blender or use hand mixer. Pour mixture onto serving dish. 

Topping:

Shredded lettuce

1 large tomato, chopped

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (Mexican blend or Monterey work great too)

1/2 cup black olives, chopped fine

4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)

Taco sauce (optional) drizzle over the "pie"

Top with the rest of the ingredients. Refrigerate 1-2 hours. 

Serve with taco chips, celery, sliced peppers, baby carrots...your choice

A Tip from Grammy:

-You can top this with other favorites, like jalapeños, onions, chives, etc.

-Don't leave unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours.

-Add a little Salsa or Rotelle to the base layer before mixing.

Be encouraged!
