Step by Step Method

Step 1

On a large round or oval dish, spread out refried beans.

Step 2

Fry ground beef until no longer pink, and drain grease.

Step 3

Add Ro-Tel tomatoes and taco seasoning mix and let liquid boil out. Mixing a few times so the burger doesn't stick.

Step 4

When most of the juice is evaporated put the meat mixture over the refried bean layer.

Step 5

Spoon on salsa and spread across meat mixture.

Step 6

Sprinkle with cheese.

Step 7

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Step 8

In the meantime, spoon the sour cream into a small Zip-Lock bag, and cut the corner. Pipe a large dot in the middle of the cheese, then make a line about 1 inch from the circle all the way around, and continue making lines until you are at the edge of the mixture.

Step 9

Drag a tooth pick through the sour cream to make a web design, or you can draw horizontal lines with the sour cream a few inches apart, all the way around to make a spider web, so you can add more sour cream to the top. I usually do it this way.

Step 10

I decorated the top with a little spider for added affect.

Step 11

Use tortilla chips to scoop up dip.

I had fun making this with my granddaughter. It looked so cute when we were done. I even found a spider ring to stick into the web. Tasted great and friends stood around dipping in with scoops throughout the party. There wasn't much left when the party was over!

This looked real spooky to the kids but it didn't take long for them to dig in and ruin my masterpiece! A great Halloween dip!

My daughter came over to help me pass out Halloween candy last night so I decided to make something to munch on. This was so cute with the spiders and web and when I brought it out my granddaughter grabbed a tortilla scoop and dug in while our backs were turned. It makes a delicious dip and one we liked very much.

My kids helped me make this for our Halloween party. It was so cute on the food table with all the other fun things we made. Everyone seemed to go for it and several of my friends commented how good it was. It helped make my Halloween party a success, so Thank you!

Everyone scooped these up with Tostitos and loved it! This can be made anytime and just omit making it into a spider web, but for Halloween this is an awesome display on the party table. I will repeat this next year at my next party, so beware!
