Supercalifragilistic FABU Chili Cheese Dip

On February 2nd, we here in the states will celebrate the annual tradition of Superbowl Sunday. Where one eats too much, probably drinks too much, watches a LOT of commercials and oh yeah FOOTBALL!!!  Well worry not - whether you are hosting the party or need to bring a dish - I have the easy to make, no fail solution.  Kathy's Fabu Vegetarian Chili Cheese Dip.  It is SO good that your carnivores won't believe it's a vegetarian dish and your herbivores will love you forever.  I have won the office best dish contest with this and my friend KC will not let me attend any parties she throws UNLESS I bring it.

You will need the following:
2 cans of Hormel Vegetarian Chili with Beans
1 brick of softened cream cheese (light or regular - your choice)
1 jar of Pace Salsa (I prefer the Southwest Chitpole Restaurant Style)
1 bag of Cheddar Jack Cheese (Velveeta works well too, but I prefer real cheese)
A bottle of Hot Sauce (Tapatio is again my preference)

Over a medium flame, combine the 2 cans of chili and the cream cheese into a sauce pan.  Stir until the cream cheese has been completely incorporated and any chunks have been melted down.  Add the jar of salsa and stir that in.  Add the cheese and stir until completely melted.  Lastly add dashes of hot sauce to taste.

Voila - you are done.  

This can also be done in the microwave, but you will want to stop it about every 2-3 minutes to stir.  If you want to make a smaller amount, just half the recipe.  Feel free to make it your own by using whatever kind of cheese you prefer,or any heat of salsa or type for that matter.  After making this for about 2 years and playing around with it - the above recipe is what my friends and co-workers liked the best. 

The best part is what you can do with the left overs.  Breakfast dilemma?  This is A-Mazing over eggs.  Lunch or dinner - try adding it on top of a baked potato.  You simply CANNOT go wrong with this dip!

I would love to get your feedback if you try it!
