    A few weeks ago, my neighbors were having a dinner party and I volunteered to bring an appetizer. Since chips and dip are always hits at any party, I decided to make a new dip!! I added the ingredients into a disposable pan, popped it in the oven, and the end result was definitely a hit!! Clean up was incredibly easy since I used a disposable pan!

    The cheesy layer on top was my favorite part, but the warmth of the dip (since it is cooked) was an added bonus since it was a cool Texas night (rare, I know)!

    Plus, living in Texas, I get points for making a “Texas” dip, right??

    This is the perfect snack/appetizer for any gathering and a real crowd winner!! So simple, budget friendly, and always a favorite with everyone!

    Enjoy my Texas Trash Dip and be sure to check out my other appetizers HERE!

      I made this dip last night for a bible study group, and it was all gone by the time I left! I made a couple modifications. I added roasted bell peppers, sautéed onion and garlic, Roma tomatoes, spring onions, and poblano pepper. I also swapped out cream cheese for cottage cheese. I meant to add the taco seasoning, but I totally forgot I had it. So, I did my own seasonings of cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper really enhanced the flavor! I also added a cup of mild chunky salsa. I think the liquid from the cottage cheese and salsa were the reason the amount doubled. I had enough for two 9 inch pie pans!

        I haven’t added calories to this recipe yet because I am still in the process of updating it, but no, it won’t be 700 calories. Let me go ahead and add the recipe card to this recipe and update the nutritional value, stay tuned!!

      Can you make this in a crockpot? The recipe sounds amazing and I’d love to make it for a party we are having in a few weeks

        Absolutely! Go ahead and assemble in your crockpot as directed in recipe, only place setting on low for about 1-2 hours. From there, switch to keep warm! Should work great!
