- Add the beef and the ground beef seasoning and cook until the meat is no longer pink. Take off the heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whip cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Stir in garlic, cheddar, hot sauce, and scallion.

Notes
Please don't use any reduced-fat cream cheese, cheddar cheese, or sour cream products; those won't melt properly and may separate during baking. For a spicier dip, add 1 to 3 additional teaspoons of hot sauce. Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Prepare the dip up to 24 hours ahead but don't bake it yet. Bake when ready.
