It looks like I have the time to share one final recipe idea for watching the big game today, a cheesy chicken enchilada dip! This dip is super easy to make and it starts out with chicken and a tasty homemade enchilada sauce, though you could use store bought to save some time. You can fill this dip out with your favourite enchilada fillings and I like to go with some healthier ingredients including corn and beans before moving on to plenty of cheese! You simply mix all of the ingredient, bake until the cheese has melted and then it’s time to dig in with tortilla chips, crackers bread or your favourite scooping items.
Just look at all of that melted cheese dripping over the sides!

Great super easy Super Bowl dip Kevin! Enjoy the game!
This is a great enchilada recipe
I made this for superbowl and my husband almost ate the whole thing. He couldn't stop raving about it. It really is that good.
I would just skip the chips and eat this with a spoon.
Amazing!!
I see you cooked this in an oven safe bowl, how large was it? Would a pie dish work?
Jennifer Rossi: There is about 4 cups worth so a pie plate would be perfect Enjoy!
This dip was amazing, was so easy even I couldn’t mess it up.
Hi Kevin,
This looks amazing! Did you use Sharp Cheddar and is 3 cups 1 1/2 pounds of chicken?
Thanks,
I like sharp/old cheddar but mild or medium will also work if you prefer. 1 cup of chicken is generally about 1/3 of a pound.
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for getting back to me! I made it using sharp cheddar and it was delicious! Definitely will be making this a lot!!
