Something simple and the first dip I ever made. Given to me by a departed friend, which brings back memories whenever I make it.

cream cheese
Hormel's chili, no beans
cheddar cheese
jarred jalapenos

Spread the cream cheese into a baking dish about 1/4" thick. I use a glass pie dish.
Spread on the Hormel. I use about half a can.
Then some shredded cheddar cheese. Don't skimp, you want a thick layer.
Place the jarred jalapeno slices at your discretion.
Bake or nuke until bubbly. I prefer baking the first time, but it reheats well in the microwave.
Serve with Tostitos or other tortilla chip to scoop.

I've made myself this the last four Superbowls.... and counting....

I make something similar Fred. Only I use Velveeta. I throw mine in the crockpot. I'll have to try the cream cheese next time. Sounds good!!

That chipotle bacon dip sounds fantastic.

[homecook]

It really is.....nice and spicy. I could eat the whole bowl myself. lol

I saw those peppers when I was in GE yesterday, too. They were calling to me, but I didn't know why... now I do. I knew I should have boughten them. I've never seen them at the town store.

[homecook]

See, never ignore something when it's calling you. lol

They're not the easiest thing to find, at least not around here anyway. I always buy 2-3 cans when I can get them just to have on hand.

Just made a half portion this. Waiting for it to set up in the fridge. Waiting for my tongue to cool off, too. I never had these peppers before and cleaned the spoon off that I used to scoop the peppers out of the can with in my mouth... Yowza :eek:

Wow, I apologize, I never saw this post until now. I use the Wish-Bone Robusto Italian dressing.

OMG! I did the same thing when I first used them. I didn't realize the zip they had either........:eek: My son put some on a quesadilla and loaded it up, haha he got a nice surprise too.

[Chowhound]

Yeah, they got zip alright... lol
What a unique taste this had. Very good. The smokiness of the bacon and the bite of the peppers... the coolness of the sour cream and mayo... very good.

[homecook]

lol

So glad you liked it.
