Layered Up Nacho Dip
This delicious layered up nacho dip has three, five, seven, or nine layers. It really all depends on how you put this recipe together. There’s the beauty of this recipe, you don’t have to count the layers, because nobody else will be – they’ll be too busy eating! 
At least, that was my experience at the family gathering last weekend. I took this dish and everybody was saying “oh, ah” and “wow, delicious” but they didn’t try to figure out the number of layers.
You’ll be able to whip this recipe together quickly too, because it relies on #ConvenienceCooking ingredients.
The most intensive part of this recipe was probably preparing the rice according to package directions. And if you can heat a skillet and measure water, you’ve got that part under control!
I told you this was easy!
The rest of the recipe directions involve some chopping, slicing and spreading. I think we can all manage that under even the most stressful cooking conditions. (At my house, that means stepping over dogs, chasing cats out of the kitchen and warding off a hungry, snack seeking husband.)
My family loved this dip so much … the little bit that was left at the end of the day was claimed by my mom. I didn’t bring home any left overs!
Now, remember, I have a large family. You may want to use this recipe if you are inviting over a crowd, attending a potluck at work or tailgating with your football fan group.
If you’re planning a dish to share with only 4 other people, you might consider dividing this recipe in half and using an 8×8 dish.
I lost count at 20 heads last weekend at mom’s. Of course, some of the little ones were running all over and I wasn’t certain if I counted them all, counted twice or missed a few. We had three generations on site and it wasn’t even all of my immediate family. I told you it was a large family!
Because of the varied ages and tastes, I didn’t make this dish with anything carrying a lot of heat. I used mild salsa and served the jalapenos on the side. If your family likes their spice, you can add the hotter peppers as a layer to this dish and select a hot / flame throwing salsa.
I’ve found allowing people to control the heat level on their personal serving works best for large groups. That way nobody feels left out because they can’t stand the heat.

Make It a Meal:
I served this dip with the trusty nacho chips. You could use celery sticks, pita chips, crackers, or just eat it by the spoonful. We had a cookout with main dishes of chicken, bratwurst and hot dogs.
You can serve this dip alongside any cookout or tailgate dishes. Or, if you’re looking to plan a Tex-Mex night, consider: Spinach Mushroom Quesadilla, Chicken Fajita Soup, Chili Spiced Crackers and homemade Sweet Pepper Salsa.
