Progressively Perfect: Virtual Dinner Party blog hop APPETIZER {Chili Layered Dip}

I am really excited to tell you about a little "get together" some of ladies from the Philly Social Media Moms are having.  It's called the Progressively Perfect Dinner Party.

Our Party is based on In Real Life Progressive Dinner Parties that start at one house for Appetizers and travel from place to place for each course until drinks afterward.  

We thought, "Why couldn't we have one where you hop from blog to blog?"

Please take a look a the links below to follow the party from course to course!

You are here to have one of my family's favorite fall-back appetizers:  The Chili Layered Dip.  It is SUPER easy and always delicious.  A little smooth and creamy and a little hot and spicy-YUM!

This is also great with homemade chili instead of store-bought and a delicious way to serve left overs :)

Ingredients 

• 1 (16 ounce) cans chili without beans 
• 1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese 
• 1 (16 ounce) packages shredded mild cheddar cheese or 
• 1 (16 ounce) packages sharp cheddar cheese 
• Chips (my favorite chips for this dip ate Fritos because they are hardy)

Directions 

• Press softened cream cheese into 12" x 12" glass pie dish.  
• Next pour the chili on top of the cream cheese. 
• Lastly, layer with the shredded cheddar cheese. 
• Microwave for 3 minutes or until cheese has melted. 
• Serve with your choice of chips :)
