Chili 'Pie' Tortilla Dip

There are different variations of this  kind of dip all around-- so far, I've never 'met' one I didn't like!  While most would use this dip for tortilla chips, I also like it on crunchy celery sticks.  This is for those who LIKE chili.

INGREDIENTS:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 of 15 oz. can Hormel chili (with/without beans or meat)
• 6-8 ounces of shredded pizza cheese (I used Sharp Cheddar 'cuz I like the 'bite' in it, but I think pizza cheese would be the way to go for most.)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Soften cream cheese and spread over the bottom of a pie dish.  (A 9-inch will work, but using a 10-inch pie dish ensures the melted cheese will stay where it belongs.)

     2.  Spread Hormel chili over the cream cheese layer...

3.  Sprinkle grated cheese over the chili...

4.  Bake at 350° for 15 minutes, or until it's heated through and the cheese is melted.

• Serve with your favorite tortilla chips... 

Left-over dip may be re-warmed for another time.
