Janet's Chili Dip

Submitted by looneytunesfan

"This recipe fills up a 9x13 pan completely. I am testing recipes for a large gathering so I made this. The two of us eat some every day and will be very sorry when it is gone! I've been eating on crackers, DH with tostada chips. This is delicious. I found it on another recipe site and I don't know who Janet is, but she is an excellent cook!"

Great make ahead for a party. I halved this and it still made about 14 servings. I used medium salsa, but would use hot next time as it was still very mild with the cream cheese. Easy and very good. Thanks for sharing.

I made this dip this afternoon for the teenagers in my son's band and they loved. I halved the recipe and left out the chiles and green onions since I wasn't sure about personal preferences. I am sure I will be making this again and will definitely use the chiles and green onions.

Wonderful dip! I also made half a batch in my 11x7 pan, it was also full. Thanks for sharing this!

A real TOUCHDOWN! This ellicited raves, especially from the younger crowd this Superbowl Sunday. Halving the recipe still made an enormous amount of dip. I did a small cheat and used SaraFish's Recipe #75751.
