Taco Dip

My children love “Taco Dip” as dinner and I usually have to make a double batch (one batch without the olives for the picky child). I got the recipe from a friend who served it as an appetizer, but since it calls for brand names, I am sure it should be attributed to someone out there…

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 6 (meal) or 12 (snack)

Prep Time: 10 minutes   Cook Time: 30 minutes  

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese
8 oz jar salsa
1 small can sliced olives
1 can Hormel Chili with beans (or equivalent homemade)
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
1/2 cup chopped green onions

Directions

Soften cream cheese. Spread the cream cheese like a pie crust in a pie plate. Layer 1/2 of the salsa, then 1/2 of the olives, then 1/2 of the chili, then 1/2 of the cheese. Repeat the layers. Top with the green onions.

Bake at 350* for 30 minutes. Serve with Fritos or tortilla chips.
