My friend made this at a party one year. He got the recipe from his sister, I have no idea if it is her creation or if she got it from somewhere else but thank you Jane regardless.

It’s very simple and uses ingredients most of us probably have.

• Cream cheese
• Salsa
• Shredded cheddar

In a microwave safe dish, spread a layer of cream cheese, followed by a layer of salsa and top with the shredded cheddar

Microwave on high for approximately 90 seconds.

Eat.

That’s the original recipe, I make one small alteration. I find when the cream cheese is a solid layer, it can be difficult to scoop, so instead I cut it into small cubes and spread them around the bottom of the dish

Pour salsa to just cover the cheese cubes, then scatter more cream cheese cubes on that, and cover with more salsa then top the whole thing with the cheddar. I find if the cream cheese is distributed inside the salsa layer like that, it’s easy to scoop.

Bet careful about how long you microwave it for. You want to heat it all the way through, but too long and the cream cheese will melt completely into the salsa and turn the whole thing into a weird rosé sauce.
