Instructions

Preheat Smoker: Preheat your smoker to 250°F.
Cook Ground Beef: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, then drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
Prepare Dip Mixture: In a large bowl, mix cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add the cooked beef, diced tomatoes with chilies, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, black olives, and green onions. Stir until well combined.
