TACO SALAD DIP (ABOUT 3 1/2 CUPS
DIP)
 
1/2 lb. ground beef
1 can (15 1/2 oz.) mashed refried beans
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
1 pkg. (1 1/4 oz.) taco seasoning mix
1/4 c. finely chopped onion
1/4 c. finely chopped green pepper
2 to 3 drops red pepper sauce
1 sm. clove garlic, finely chopped
Sour Cream Topping
Finely shredded cheese
Corn chips

Crumble ground beef in to 1 1/2 quart casserole. Cover loosely and microwave on high (100%) until very little pink remains, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes; stir and drain.

Stir in beans, tomato sauce, seasoning mix, onion, green pepper, pepper sauce and garlic. Cover tightly and microwave on high (100%) 3 minutes; stir. Spread mixture into 9 inch pie plate. Cover and microwave until hot and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes longer.

Mound sour cream topping in center of beef mixture; sprinkle with shredded lettuce and cheese. Serve with corn chips.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
