Southwestern Dip

Consider making this dip instead of buying cheese dip.  It is very very simple and makes a great snack with tortilla chips.   I found this recipe many years ago and my daughter Maggie also has the recipe memorized.  Every time I serve it everyone raves about it and someone always asks for the recipe.

1 8 ounce package of 1/3 less fat cream cheese
1/2 cup light sour cream
1/4 cup salsa
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Put all ingredients into a bowl and cream together with mixer or spoon.  Place into microwaveable bowl and heat in microwave for 2 minutes, stir and heat or another 2 - 3 minutes until it is heated through.  Or cut the middle out of a round bread loaf and put dip inside, wrap in foil and bake at 400 degrees for one and 1/2 hours. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!

  1. Thank you for sharing this recipe! This was a great snack this afternoon. We couldn't get cheddar cheese, so we used a crumbled Chilean cheese. The cheese was drier than cheddar, so we compensated with extra salsa!

    Everyone here really enjoys your recipes - keep them coming!
