A wonderful, hearty chili dip that's full of flavor - Mexican lasagna chip dip

A wonderful, hearty chili dip that's full of flavor. The slightly spicy meat layer has chunks of salsa, chopped chiles, and jalapenos. Cream cheese adds a bit of creaminess.

A great addition to taco night or game day snacking.
