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.
