WFMW - Super Easy Mexican Dip!

What day is today? Is it really only Wednesday? Every year this happens to me, I'm always "off" a day the week of VBS. Since it starts on Sunday, I always think we are closer to the end than we really are. So it really is only Wednesday...okay...fair enough...now on to our topic of the day!

It's WFMW! Works for Me Wednesday - Summer recipe edition. This recipe isn't necessarily summerish, but it's super easy, with no oven required and is oh so yummy! I always get so many compliments on this dip and it is always gone very quickly.

Easy Mexican Dip

• 8 oz cream cheese

• 1 small can Hormel chili - no beans (I think it's 10.5 oz can - oh and I've tried to Wal-mart brand too...it's just as good)

• mild banana peppers (or HOT peppers if you know everyone will like the hot!)

• shredded cheese (Cheddar, Colby-jack, Mexican blend, whatever suits your fancy)
  

In a pie plate/shallow dish spread your cream cheese over the bottom of your dish (have your cream cheese @ room temp, it makes this process a lot easier)

Next, add your can of chili, top with banana peppers (I put a lot of peppers on), then top with shredded cheese.

That's it....pop it in the microwave for a few minutes, till it's hot and bubbly. Serve with tortilla chips! If I'm taking this dip somewhere, I wait and heat it up when I get there, it's best when it's right out of the microwave/oven.

Oh, and let me just say, it's not the most beautiful dip...in fact, it's kinda yucky looking, but try it, I promise...you'll LOVE it!

Oh, and to be totally fair....I stole this recipe from my darling sister-in-law, but I'm pretty sure she stole it from someone else too! So here's to the person she stole it from! Thank you, whoever you are for this oh so yummy dip!
