Spooky Spiderweb Taco Dip - featured image
Print Recipe

A creamy, layered taco dip that looks like a giant spiderweb landed on top of it. It’s got all the classic flavors you love (seasoned beef, refried beans, melty cheese), but with a Halloween makeover that’s almost too fun to eat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (2.25 oz) sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to the beef. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  4. Spread refried beans evenly across the bottom of the pie dish.
  5. Layer the seasoned beef over the refried beans.
  6. Dollop salsa over the beef layer and spread gently.
  7. Sprinkle shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let the dip cool for about 5 minutes.
  10. Fill a squeeze bottle or ziploc bag with sour cream. Pipe concentric circles starting from the center. Then drag a toothpick outward from the center through all circles to create a web pattern.
  11. Place 2-3 black olive slices in the center of the web for spider bodies. Cut thin strips from additional olives for legs and arrange around the bodies.
  12. Sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired.
  13. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.

Notes

For the sour cream web, use full-fat sour cream for best consistency. Pipe the web about 5 minutes after baking when the dip is warm but not hot. Use a toothpick for clean web lines. Don’t overbake the cheese.
