I was rummaging through my recipe archive this weekend and rediscovered this dip recipe I had forgotten about. A co-worker had made it for a holiday party and it disappeared in seconds minutes. I knew I had to get this recipe from her, and she was kind enough to share it with me. Of course, any dip using cream cheese wins me over. But, on top of that, this also has chili and Jack cheese…..sure fire winner in my book. Ooey, gooey goodness! If you’re feeling guilty about all the holiday over-indulgences, no fret, just substitute low fat cheeses and turkey chili. Leftover chili can be substituted for canned (if you’re fortunate enough to have some in the house). I’d call this an addictive dip: you take the first bite and say “mmm, that’s tasty;” you take a second bite and say “wow, that’s really good;” after that you just keep devouring it digging in. Great flavor and so easy to make. This is perfect for New Year’s Eve, game day, or just a relaxing movie night at home.
New Year's countdown of Melding Magic's top 10 most viewed recipes for 2013 is coming to a close. Be sure to check out my Facebook page. Number 2 will be posted today. (If you have not already done so, I would be so thrilled if you shared your FB love by "liking" my page.)
Preheat oven to 425° F.
Spread cream cheese over bottom of deep dish pie plate, or 8x8-inch pan. You'll want the pan to be on the large side, so when you dip, you get all 3 layers on a chip.
Spread chili over cream cheese.
Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese on top.
Bake until cheese melts and edges are bubbling hot, about 10 minutes.
Serve with tortilla chips.
