Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
For a spicy version, add one or two diced jalapenos and/or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef.
To make in advance, either make it up to the point of baking, cover, and store it for cooking later or completely cook the dip, let it cool, and wrap it for storing in the refrigerator. It easily reheats in the oven at 350 in about 10 minutes.
