Lori’s Taco Dip

• 3 (8oz.) cream cheese


• 2-3 cans of chili with no beans


• 1 jar of jalapeno peppers


• 1 bag of shredded Mexican cheese

Directions: Spread cream cheese out in a cake pan. Then layer it with chili, drain jalapenos, spread out over chili and top with shredded cheese. Place in the oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes (or until cheese is melted.) Serve with tortilla or pita chips, veggies or anything else you have lying around that would mesh well.
