Party Dip

In honor of the super bowl, this week I am sharing a super easy dip. The recipe for this dip was shared with me by a family friend, Claire.

Claire and her husband Mike were hosting a party quite some time ago, which is where I was first introduced to this dip. It was so scrumptious that I had to have the recipe, which she was kind enough to share with me.

Over the years, I have tweeked it slightly for simplicity.


Party Dip




You will need:



      16 oz Sour Cream                                               16 oz Cream Cheese Softened
Cream Cheese (non-softened)
Sour Cream




Salsa (approx. 16oz, this jar is 15.5, which is fine)                8 oz bag of Shredded Cheese
Salsa
Shredded Cheese




How to prepare:


Put the salsa and sour cream into a medium bowl. 

Mix. 

Add the cream cheese. 

Mix until smooth. (May be slightly bumpy, this is ok).

Stir in 1/2 the bag of shredded cheese.

(OPTIONAL STEP) - Let sit in the fridge, for approximately 30 minutes, to slightly thicken. 

Stir.

Top with remaining shredded cheese. 

Serve with tortilla chips.

TIPS:

The measurements for this  recipe are only approximates, as it is made to taste preference. 

I use the entire container for each to avoid measuring and increase simplicity. 


You can use regular cream cheese, but softened is much easier to blend smooth and makes the job quicker.

Any tortilla chips are fine, but I prefer Tostitos Scoops.

This dip is a favorite among my friends, so (from experience) I suggest doubling the recipe if having more than 5 people (especially guys) over. 

I prefer medium salsa, but mild or hot are fine too. This just depends on your taste. 

Tastes fine with any brands, I rotate between those shown and store brands, depending on what I see first.  




ENJOY!

You can always use light sour cream and reduced fat cream cheese to save a few.... :-)
