Gumbo Ya Ya: Creamy Chili Con Carne Dip

Welcome to my site!

I'm Cindy, and I love to cook! And, I love to eat... hence the size of my rear end! I come from a long line of cooks. My great great Grandmother was a cook in the original Harvey Houses. My grandmother Julia was an awesome cook, and my mom was incredible. I owe my skills to these great women. Especially my Mom who said this to me about making gravy... "Cindy Lynn, wallpaper paste is wallpaper paste & gravy is gravy. Never the two shall meet!" Shall we say my first experience at making gravy left a little bit to be desired! Thank the high heavens my cooking skills have improved since then! Enjoy!

Creamy Chili Con Carne Dip

This is yummy! It is a delicious and " ready in a jif " chili con carne dip. It is perfect for just about any occasion. Unfortunately, I can't take credit for coming up with the recipe - but sadly I can't remember who I got the recipe from to give them credit. All I can say is if you like chili and corn chips - you're going to love this creamy and savory dip.

Ingredients:

1 can "no bean" chili (I like Hormel)
8 oz of cream cheese (I use Philadelphia 1/3 less fat)
2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Bag of Corn Chips

Directions:

Put the chili and cream cheese into a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until they begin to melt together.

Add the chili powder and cayenne pepper

Cook, stirring, until the mixture begins to bubble.

Serve warm with corn chips. This dip is best if kept warm.
