Ingredients

  • For Hot 7 Layer Dip:
  • 1 (15-ounce) can refried black beans
  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
  • ½ teaspoon each kosher salt and black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon canola or coconut oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (4-ounce) package cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 1 (1-ounce) packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup Minute® White Rice
  • 1 (15-ounce) can no salt corn drained and rinsed
  • 1 ½ cups grated cheddar or Colby jack cheese
  • For serving:
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1 Roma tomato diced
  • 1 small avocado peeled and diced
  • Tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, stir together refried beans, green chiles and ¼ teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes and then transfer to a pie dish or 9x9-inch pan, spreading into an even layer.  
  3. Return skillet to burner. Add oil to skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until cooked through and no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon transfer ground beef from skillet to a paper towel lined plate, reserving some of the grease in the skillet. Add onion to skillet and cook until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. 
  4. Add cream cheese to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted, smooth and creamy. Stir in cooked ground beef, taco seasoning, ¼ teaspoon each salt and black pepper; and cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour ground beef mixture over the beans in the pie dish, spreading into an even layer. 
  5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of rice. Remove from heat and cover. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Fluff rice with fork and set aside.
  6. Top ground beef mixture with corn and top corn with rice. Cover rice with grated cheese. 
  7. Bake dip in preheated 350 degrees F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and dip is hot and bubbly.
  8. Serve immediately with tortilla chips and topped with desired fresh toppings including shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and avocados.
