Hot Cheesy Enchilada Skillet Dip

I remember the days of planning the perfect HALLOWEEN COSTUMES for 4 little girls.

They looked so scary cute.

In Idaho it’s always snowy and COLD, so heavy winter coats were always a must.

so . . .

There goes the cute outfit!

Hours of pulling over at the side of the curb and watching little feet approach front doors.

As soon as their little hands were too cold to hold their buckets, we headed for a warm home.

 . . . They were hungry!

 It’s always nice to have something pre-prepared.

This hot and Cheesy Enchilada Skillet Dip is a perfect make ahead dish for Cold nights . . . or warm nights.

When you use a Cast Iron Skillet you get nice crispy golden edges!

In fact, when you bake in Cast iron, it always tastes better.

I always had a Slow Cooker full of Old Fashioned Beef Stew,

or

Homemade chicken and noodle soup and homemade rolls.

Have you seen the limited edition Mission Halloween Chips?

Serve the hot bubbly cheesy Dip with these bright orange and blue corn chips,

 and you’re ready for all the Halloween Parties coming up.

Fast and Easy . . . and delicious!

I promise . . .  you won’t be bringing any leftovers home!

By the way . . . remember sweet little Londyn . . . the newest addition to our family.
