5 Layer Dip

1 lb mince beef
1 lb mince pork
Mince Medium size Red Onion
1 Whole Gloves Garlic
Prego Meat Sause
Soy Sauce
Sour Cream
Shredded Cheese
Salsa
Cream Cheese
Slight mix of sugar
Oil to Saute below

Heat oil and saute garlic and onion. I normally put the garlic when the oil is heated enough to brown the garlic then saute the onions. Drop mince beef and mince port, cook for 15 mins. Put a quarter cup of soy sauce or less and let it sit for another 5 mins. Mixed Prego meat sauce just enough to cover the meat. Add more soy sauce if need be and sugar to your liking. Set aside and let it cool down to do the layers.

Place cooked meat in a pan - 1st layer
Cover with Sour Cream - 2nd layer
Cover with Salsa - 3rd layer
Sliced the cream cheese and spread for the 4th layer
Spread Shredded Cheese to cover for the 5th layer

Place in an oven for 350 degree for 22-25 mins or until shredded cheese melted.

The layer sequence is: Red, white, red, white & yellow for the shredded cheese.
