Phil's Taco Dip is a great traveler for parties and always disappears quickly when set out with good tortilla chips.

The only thing Packerland has left to look forward to this year are the Super Bowl commercials. Don't get me wrong: it'll still be a great party.
Rarely do Phil and I attend or host a potluck or football party without a pie tin of this taco dip and a bag of tortilla chips.
It’s VERY easy to make and travels well, so win-win.
You can jazz it up with a layer of taco meat and one of refried beans, add black olives, go low-cal by choosing low-fat varieties of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and sour cream—whatever floats your boat.
I'm not usually a fan of using pre-mixed seasonings, but this is Phil's baby: he can do whatever he wants! (And why fix what ain't broken?)
But if you're feeling ambitious, you can absolutely make your own taco seasoning (see our homemade taco seasoning recipe!).
The recipe below will make two pie tins of dip.
