5 Layer Baked Dip

Baked 5 Layer Dip

This baked 5 layer dip features, refried beans, seasoned ground beef, taco powder cream cheese, guacamole, jalapeños and lots of cheese. I love all of these things individually so I thought, why not try them all together to make one super hearty hot dip. Great to take to a party or just to enjoy at home.
