Irresistible Dip Recipe : Cheesy Chili Salsa Dip

Feeding a crowd with delicious food that is easy and also allows you to enjoy your guests and the game, can sometimes be tricky.  Fortunately, with an event like The Big Game, guests are expecting grab-and-go, appetizer type foods that they can help themselves to over a period of several hours.  I always try to set a table of easy “sideline snack” type foods that is easy for guests to graze over throughout the game.  This 4 ingredient dip recipe is always a hit and SO easy to make!  The results of this mixture of cheeses, chili and salsa is a hearty dip with a little kick.

  1. Looks so yummy! I might even be willing to call it dinner for the kids if some of the proportions were adjusted. They would love dipping their chips in the sauce, and would probably get more protein in than at a regular dinner!
