Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.Combine cumin, garlic powder, chili powder and kosher salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
3.Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and seasoning mixture. Cook until beef is browned. Transfer to a colander placed over a bowl to strain the grease. Set aside.

6.Remove from oven and layer with olives, tomatoes, jalapenos, cheddar and jack cheese. Return to oven and bake for 10 more minutes or until cheese is melted and the edges are bubbly.
7.Remove from oven allow to cool for a several minutes. Serve.
A word of warning, I was a little too excited when I pulled my dip out of the oven, I grabbed a chip right away and dug in. Mistake. A mistake that the roof of my mouth is still trying to recover from. So please take my advice and make sure you allow this to cool several minutes before serving. Then dig in like a mad woman (or man) and enjoy!
