Chili Cheese Dip

With the holidays upon us I wanted to share a few of my favorite appetizers, beginning with this easy dip. Serve warm with tortilla chips.

(I found this recipe in a magazine a few years ago in an advertisement for Bush's Beans. If that brand is not available you can substitute with any can of beans that are already prepared with chili spices)

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

½ cup chunky salsa
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 can (16 ounces) BUSH'S BEST Chili Beans, undrained
3 tablespoons sliced green onions

Tortilla chips

Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine cream cheese and salsa and spread in bottom of 9-inch pie plate. Sprinkle with ½ cup cheese. Spread chili beans over shredded cheese. Top with remaining shredded cheese and sliced green onions  Bake for 15-20 minutes until mixture is thoroughly heated and cheese is melted. Serve warm with tortilla chips.
