Cream Cheese Chili Dip

The perfect dish to bring to a potluck when you don't really have time to cook. Just three easy ingredients, and it gets rave reviews. We eat it every summer on vacation up in Canada. Reheat any leftovers and spoon into taco shells for a quick dinner. (from my sister-in-law Loren)

8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened 
one can of turkey chili with beans; Trader Joe's sells a good one
shredded mexican cheese blend or cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread the cream cheese in a baking dish with the back of a spoon. Spoon chili over, then top with lots of shredded cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until bubbly. Serve with Frito scoops or tortilla chips on the side. 

*You can fancy this up a bit by sprinkling toppings like shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, diced onions or sliced olives on top before serving.
