# Directions:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat and stir in the taco seasoning mix and 60ml water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, refried beans, salsa, and diced green chiles. Mix until well blended.

In a 2-liter oven-safe baking dish, spread the creamy base mixture evenly. Top with the cooked meat mixture. Sprinkle with half of the shredded Mexican cheese blend.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle the remaining Mexican cheese blend on top, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
