Easy Baked Layered Chili Cheese Dip

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"The complete dip can be prepared and refrigerated until ready to bake. The jalapeno is only optional, I like to add it into the cream cheese. The success of this dip will depend on the quality of chili you use so make certain to use a good-quality canned chili or use homemade, for extra heat use extra spricy chili."

We have been making a very similar version of this dip for years. My family loved the addition of jalapeno, green chilies, and onion. Thanks for updating a much loved recipe.

My sister-in-law makes this all the time and I'm the only one who just "likes" it. This is a good, very rich dip and very easy to make.
