Servings: 8

Preparation duration: 10 minutes

Cooking duration: 40 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1 10.75-ounce can Campbell's Cheddar Cheese Soup

10 to 15 corn tortilla chips (round or triangle)

8 ounces brick-style cream cheese, very well softened to room temp

8 ounces salsa

1 1.25-ounce packet fajita seasoning mix (McCormick, Mrs. Dash, etc.)

1 8-ounce bag shredded cheese, divided (Mexican blend, Pepper Jack blend, etc.)

Equipment:

baking pan

pie form

oven

spatula

knife

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish (or similar-sized oven-safe baking dish) with cooking spray. Place tortilla chips in dish so they cover the majority of the bottom, slightly overlapping. This prevents soup from seeping through. Add the soup and lightly spread it evenly over the chips with a spatula or knife. Evenly sprinkle the fajita mix over the top. Evenly sprinkle not quite half the cheese over the top (I used about 40% of the bag); set aside remainder. Add the cream cheese in about 1/4 cup blobs and with a spatula or knife, do your best to carefully distribute it evenly over the pan without disturbing the other layers. Some small bald patches are okay because it bakes together. Tip - the softer your cream cheese is, the easier this step is. Evenly pour the salsa over the top, spreading it lightly with a spatula or knife if necessary. Evenly sprinkle reserved cheese over the top. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until top is golden browned, bubbly, and dip is done to your liking. Allow dip to cool momentarily before serving. Serving Suggestions - tortilla chips, bread, crackers, bagel chips, pita chips, mini toast crackers, carrot/celery/zucchni/jicama/cucumber sticks, bell pepper wedges, or eat by the spoonful. Dip is best warm and fresh, but extra will keep airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Gently re-heat in micro before serving leftover portion. We ate the leftover portion in squares like lasagna.

Food Joke

When Bill and Hillary first got married, Bill said, "I am putting a box under our bed. You must promise never to look in it." In all their 30 years of marriage, Hillary never looked. However, on the afternoon of their 30th anniversary, curiosity got the better of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box there were 3 empty beer cans and $1,874.25 in cash. After dinner, Hillary could no longer contain her guilt and she confessed, saying, "I am so sorry. For all these years I kept my promise and never looked in the box under our bed. However, today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now I need to know why do you keep the empty cans in the box?" Bill thought for a while and said, "I guess that after all these years you deserve to know the truth. Whenever I was unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again." Hillary was shocked, but said, "I am very disappointed and saddened, but I guess after all those years away from home on the road, temptation does happen and I guess that 3 times is not that bad considering the number of years we've been together." They hugged and made their peace. A little while later, Hillary asked Bill, "So why do you have all that money in the box?" Bill answered, "Well, whenever the box filled up with empty cans, I took them to the recycling center and redeemed them for cash."
