Chili-Cheese Dip
When I was in college, we used to melt cheese and chili in the microwave on movie nights. I re-created my college junk-food obsession with this chili-cheese dip that only takes a few more minutes than the microwave version.
It's so good-seriously, I need to step away from the tortilla chips.
