In a frying pan, brown the ground beef until its almost fully cooked. Add the taco seasoning and continue to brown until done. Turn off the flame and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prep a large baking dish with a layer of sour cream at the base of the dish.
Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to smooth the sour cream around to form an even layer.
To the sour cream, pour the salsa on top and jiggle the baking dish to spread around evenly.
Pour the ground beef on top of the salsa, then add a generous layer of cheese.
Optional: bake the dish at 350º for 15 minutes.

Let the ground beef cool a little before adding to the dish with the sour cream.
If you are not eating this right away and storing in the fridge, cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and take out at least 15 minutes before serving so the cheese becomes room temperature.
This dip can get watery with the use of the salsa, so if there is water, you can drain it before serving or reserving if you have it as leftovers.
If you want to make this, as it's meant to be served cold or room temperature, bake at 350º for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese fully melts.
