INGREDIENTS

 

  • 1 lb. ground beef or turkey
  • 2 Tbsp Beef It Up temp-tations® seasoning*
  • 3 bell peppers (one each red, green, and yellow), seeded and diced

Directions

 

  1. In a heavy bottom skillet over medium heat, sauté meat until browned. Drain and set aside.
  2. While meat is browning, dice veggies.
  3. In a 9x13 temp-tations® baker, spread cream cheese evenly over bottom.
  4. In a small bowl, mix browned meat with Beef It Up temp-tations® seasoning and a jar of salsa. Spread evenly over cream cheese.
  5. Layer peppers, onions, and tomatoes in that order.
  6. Top with cheese and bake in a preheated 325°F oven until cheese melts and layers are bubbly.
  7. Serve with your favorite chips or pitas.

  

* If you don’t have Beef it Up temp-tations® seasoning blend you can use a packet of taco or chili seasoning.

** I use medium salsa but it’s your choice—hot or mild are good, too.
