1 lb. lean ground beef
1 (8 oz.) jar medium salsa, divided
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic
1/4 tsp. onion salt

1 1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese

preparation

How to Microwave the Mountain: Crumble beef into 2-quart casserole dish. Stir in 1/2 cup of salsa, onion salt, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cover. Microwave on High for 4 to 6 minutes, or until beef is no longer pink, stirring once or twice to break apart. Drain; stir in remaining 1/2 cup salsa and beans. On a platter, mound mixture into a rounded shape, about 9-inches.

Mix cheeses together. Sprinkle over meat and bean mixture, covering completely. Microwave at 50% (Medium) power for 7 to 10 minutes until cheese melts. Rotate platter after every 2 minutes. Sprinkle tomatoes, onions and olives in center of cheese. Alternate dollops of sour cream and guacamole around edge of platter. Serve with chips. Very easy to do and GOOD.
