Baked Cheese Fiesta Dip

Submitted by Junebug

"This is a great tasting dip or spread. Serve it with chips or crackers. After it's cooked you can spread a very thin layer of sour cream on top, just enough to help adhere your choice of toppings, such as diced peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, green onion, etc. To make a nice presentation on your Christmas buffet, cut stars out of red and green peppers and spread over the top."

This was the most amazing dip I've ever had; super easy to make and delicious. Made as written, except I omitted the ground red pepper (lots of non-spicy lovers in the crowd). I served it with chips and crackers, and it was incredible-tasting on both. Thanks for contributing this, Junebug!

love this - I forgot the red pepper and was a bit worried about the look of it prior to baking, but it was a huge hit! Definitely would make it again!

This dip is great. Next time I plan on adding extra ground red pepper. I fixed this in a square 8X8 dish and the best part was the puffy browned corners! Yum!
