Baked Layered Tex Mex Dip

Submitted by AmyZoe

"I was skeptical about this recipe, and if it would be any good. But it was a hit. I probably used way more cheese and salsa than it called for, and this was an ooey gooey appetizer of deliciousness. If I had homemade leftover chili or homemade salsa it would have been even more over the top. Recipe courtesy of Baked Layered Tex Mex Dip. Serving size is estimated."
