Just the name of this sounds good, right? This was one of the BEST dips I have had in a long time. It can be served warm or cold. To me, this could be a whole meal. After I made this, I think I sat in front of it for like 10 minutes just stuffing my face. Crunchy bacon and warm gooey cheese…is there anything better? This would be great for any of your holiday gatherings or tailgating. Everyone will be requesting that you make this dip for every event once they try it!
Ingredients:
1 (8 oz.) block cream cheese, softened to room temp.
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 cup salsa
1 small tomato, diced
1/4 cup sliced black olives, drained well (optional)
1 cup shredded Mexican style cheese blend
1 cup cooked & crumbled bacon
sliced green onions, for topping
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees (if serving warm.) In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, chili powder, salt, pepper and salsa.
Spread mixture into an ungreased 9-inch pie pan (or similar size baking dish.)
Top with tomatoes…
…sliced black olives…
…shredded cheese…
…and crumbled bacon! At this point you can dig in with some tortilla chips. Or…
…bake in preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through and cheese is melted.
Top with sliced green onions.
Serve with tortilla chips!
Cook’s Note: This dip can be served warm or cold. Either way it is fantastic tasting. If you are serving cold, just prepare according to the directions and serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Enjoy!

Hi Davey. I’m sorry. I really don’t know since I haven’t made it any other way. What do you normally substitute for those items?
