NOTES:
This dip can be made a day ahead or a few hours ahead of time. It turns out best to assemble it up to the point of adding the topping of lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Warm the meat just before serving and add the topping.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for 1-2 days. After this, the dip may become watery. To reheat, scoop the desired amount on a plate and warm up slightly in the microwave.
