Mexican Dip

We are headed to a housewarming party tonight, and I am making this dip today to bring to the party.  It is such a winner.  I ran the ingredients through the online WW recipe builder.  I have been eating this dip since college, so probably about 12 years or so.  In college we used to eat it with Doritos, I am taking the Fritos scoops to the party tonight, but obviously you could use any of the many tortilla chips that are out these days, the Baked Scoops would probably be the best and lowest in pp option.

1 8oz. package of 1/3 less fat cream cheese (or fat free if you like it, and it would probably lower the pp a little)
1 can of Hormel 98% fat free Turkey Chili No beans (because I don't like beans, but feel free to use them if you like them)
1 large jar of Medium salsa (feel free to use mild or hot)
1 cup of Kraft 2% milk shredded sharp cheddar cheese (WW Mexican blend would be awesome)

Spray an 8 inch square dish with PAM.  I usually use a round Corningware dish because it's prettier, but any dish about that size will work.  Put the cream cheese in the dish and microwave it for about 20 seconds or so to soften it so you can spread it on the bottom.  Top the cream cheese with the chili and spread it out to cover the cream cheese.  Pour the salsa over the chili and spread it out to cover the chili.  Top with the cheese.  Bake on 350 for about 15 minutes to just warm it and melt the cheese.  It is only 2pp for 16 servings.  It isn't too spicy, but it does have a little kick.  You can make it ahead and just warm it in the oven or the microwave.  It only gets better as it sits.  You can totally eat it cold if it cools while at a party.  This dip is amazing and obviously easy to make, and there will be none left in your dish when you bring it home!

This morning I took boot camp with Boot Camp Moms.
