Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese very soft (I used lite)
- 15- ounce can chili I used hot
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese blend
- green onions sliced into thin rounds for garnishing
Instructions
- Spray a 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray, add the cream cheese, and spread into a layer covering the base of the pie plate.
- Add the chili, evenly sprinkle with cheese, and microwave for about 4 minutes, or until cheese has melted and chili is bubbling a bit under the cheese. Because all microwaves and their intensities vary, check early and often. You may need to cook for less time or more depending on your microwave.
- Evenly sprinkle with green onions and serve immediately with chips or your favorite dippers.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Alternatively, bake in the oven at 400F for about 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
