Do you heat this dip?

Yes. This Mexican dip gets baked to melt the cheese and blend the flavors together.

What to serve with this dip?

Serve this easy dip with tortilla chips. The scooper kind come in handy for getting all the cheesy goodness! And we like to enjoy it with a good beer -- more on that below.

What to do with leftovers?

Store leftovers in the refrigerator, in an airtight container. Reheat the portion you want in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until the cheese on top gets melty again.

Is this the same as 7 layer dip?

Well, this has some similar flavors but it only has 3 layers. The great thing is that it is easier to make!

Ingredients

Scale

16 ozs lite cream cheese, left at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften
16 ozs fresh tomato salsa, medium spice
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spread the cream cheese out to cover the bottom of a baking pan. 9 by 5 inches and 2 to 3 inches deep or thereabouts works well.
Scoop the salsa onto the cream cheese layer and spread even across the cream cheese to cover it.
Sprinkle the cheese around the pan to cover the salsa.
Place the baking pan in the oven. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
Remove dip from oven and serve along with tortilla chips. We typically have it served right from the pan. Enjoy!
