1 lb. ground beef
1 env. taco seasoning mix

Mix cream cheese, dairy sour cream and dry soup well. Spread on large platter, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Best if done the day before.

When ready to serve, top cream cheese mixture with meat. Then layer remaining ingredients starting with cheese, then tomatoes, green peppers, green onions, and finally black olives.
