These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are here to turn an ordinary meal into a delightful experience everyone will be talking about!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • For the Chicken Marinade:
    • 2 large chicken breasts, cut into strips
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Cheesy Garlic Sauce:
    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 2 tablespoons minced garlic

    • Optional: sliced jalapeños or red onion for an extra kick

Directions:

1. Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, toss the chicken strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the flavors soak in for at least 15 minutes. If you have extra time, marinate for an hour for even more flavor!

2. Cook the Chicken
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked and golden, about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Set aside.

Chili Dip: The Ultimate Game-Day Appetizer You Can’t Stop Eating!

by recipesinfamily
written by recipesinfamily

Looking for an appetizer that’s guaranteed to be the star of your next party or family gathering? This Chili Dip is your answer! It’s quick, easy, and totally addictive—a combination of creamy, cheesy goodness with the perfect amount of spice. Whether you’re hosting a game-day party, having friends over for a casual get-together, or just craving a savory snack, this dip will disappear in minutes!

Made with just a few simple ingredients—cream cheese, chili, and shredded cheese—this dip is a breeze to throw together. Serve it with tortilla chips for dipping, and you’ve got the perfect finger food that everyone will love. Want to make it extra special? Add ground beef on top for a heartier dip that’s even more delicious! Ready to impress your guests? Let’s dive in!

Ingredients:

  • 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese (softened) 🧀
  • 1/2 to 1 (15-oz.) can chili without beans 🌶️
  • 1 (8-oz.) package shredded cheese 🧀
  • Tortilla chips (for dipping) 🌽
  • Optional: Ground beef (cooked) for topping 🍖

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Base
Start by spreading the softened cream cheese evenly over the bottom of a glass plate or square dish. The cream cheese will create a rich, creamy base that balances out the heat of the chili, so spread it smoothly to cover the bottom of the dish.

Step 2: Add the Chili
Next, spread the chili on top of the cream cheese. You can use about half a can or the full can of chili, depending on how much flavor and heat you want. Spread it evenly over the cream cheese layer to ensure every bite has that delicious chili kick.

Step 3: Top with Shredded Cheese
Now, sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the chili. This is where the magic happens—when the cheese melts, it’ll turn into a gooey, cheesy layer that’s the perfect finish to your dip.

Step 4: Heat the Dip
Pop the dish into a preheated 350°F oven or microwave. Heat it until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes in the oven, or 2-3 minutes in the microwave, depending on your appliance. Keep an eye on it to make sure the cheese doesn’t burn.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Once the cheese is melted and the dip is warm, it’s time to serve! Grab your favorite tortilla chips and dip away. The cream cheese, chili, and cheese combo is absolutely irresistible. Want to make it even heartier? Cook up some ground beef and sprinkle it on top of the cheese before baking. It’ll add an extra savory layer that takes this dip to the next level.

If you loved this easy and delicious Chili Dip, don’t keep it to yourself—share it with your friends and family on Pinterest and Facebook! It’s the perfect dish for parties, family gatherings, or just when you want a tasty snack. Click below to get the full recipe and make this crowd-pleaser at your next gathering. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘁 👇

Q: Can I make this dip ahead of time?
A: Yes! This dip can be prepared a day ahead. Simply assemble it and refrigerate it until you’re ready to heat it up. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Q: Can I use chili with beans?
A: Absolutely! If you prefer chili with beans, go ahead and use it. The dip will still be delicious, but keep in mind that it might be a bit thicker than using chili without beans.

Q: What kind of shredded cheese should I use?
A: You can use any shredded cheese you like! Cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also try Monterey Jack, Mexican blend, or pepper jack for a bit of extra spice. It’s all about what you love!

Q: Can I add other toppings to this dip?
A: Definitely! You can add sour cream, chopped onions, jalapeños, or even a sprinkle of cilantro for extra flavor. Customize it to suit your taste or your guests’ preferences.

Q: Can I make this dip vegetarian?
A: Yes, just skip the ground beef topping, and you’ve got a vegetarian-friendly version of this dip! The chili and cheese already provide plenty of flavor.

Q: How long can I store leftovers?
A: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven until it’s warm and the cheese is melted again.

Enjoy your creamy, cheesy, and oh-so-delicious Chili Dip! It’s perfect for any occasion, and I bet it’ll become a favorite in your household too! 🌶️🧀

Best of all, it’s easy to make and uses simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. So, whether you’re feeding the kids, meal prepping for the week, or hosting a laid-back dinner with friends, this Confetti Casserole will be the dish they remember.

Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. ground hamburger 🥩
  • 1/4 cup onion, chopped 🧅
  • 1 teaspoon salt 🧂
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper 🌶️
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard 🌱
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar 🍯
  • 8 oz. cream cheese (softened) 🧀
  • 8 oz. tomato sauce 🍅
  • 10 oz. frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, etc.) 🌽🥕
  • 1/2 cup potatoes, diced 🥔
  • Corn chips (crushed) for topping 🌽

Instructions:

Step 1: Brown the Meat
Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Brown your ground hamburger and chopped onion, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Once browned, drain off any excess grease to keep it light and healthy.

Step 2: Add the Flavor
To the browned meat, stir in the salt, pepper, dry mustard, and brown sugar. Mix everything together and let it cook for another minute or two, allowing the flavors to blend.

Step 3: Stir in the Cream Cheese
Now, add the softened cream cheese to the skillet. Stir well until the cheese melts and creates a creamy sauce that coats the meat and veggies. This is where the magic happens – it will get rich and creamy!

Step 4: Add the Sauce and Veggies
Once the cream cheese is melted and smooth, stir in the tomato sauce, frozen mixed vegetables, and diced potatoes. You can use any frozen mixed veggies you like, but the traditional peas, carrots, and corn are always a hit. Let this mixture heat through for a few minutes.

Step 5: Assemble the Casserole
Transfer everything into a greased 9×13 casserole dish. Spread it out evenly and make sure the mixture is nicely smoothed out. Now for the fun part – topping it off with crushed corn chips! Generously sprinkle the chips over the top of the casserole. This adds that perfect, crunchy texture that takes the casserole to the next level.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Cover your casserole dish with foil and bake at 375°F for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes to crisp up the chips on top. The casserole will be bubbling and golden brown when it’s ready.

Step 7: Serve & Enjoy!
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Dish it out and enjoy the comforting, cheesy goodness with your loved ones! This casserole is best served hot and is perfect for a hearty family meal.

If you loved this easy and delicious recipe, be sure to share it with your friends and family on Pinterest and Facebook!

FAQs:

Q: Can I make Confetti Casserole ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can prepare the casserole the night before, cover it with foil, and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to bake, just pop it in the oven and bake as directed. If it’s cold from the fridge, you might need to add an extra 10-15 minutes of baking time.

Q: What can I substitute for the ground beef?
A: You can easily swap the ground beef for ground turkey, chicken, or even a vegetarian option like lentils or a veggie burger crumble. It’s a versatile recipe, and the flavors will still shine through.

Q: Can I add more veggies?
A: Absolutely! Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, or even spinach. Just make sure they’re chopped small enough to cook evenly in the casserole.

Q: Can I use a different kind of chips for the topping?
A: Sure! While corn chips are traditional, you can use any crunchy chips you like – tortilla chips, nacho cheese chips, or even crushed pretzels for a fun twist!

Q: How do I store leftovers?
A: Store any leftover casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can easily reheat it in the microwave or in the oven for a quick meal the next day!

Q: Can I freeze this casserole?
A: Yes, this casserole freezes well! Assemble it, but don’t bake it. Cover it tightly with foil and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to bake, let it thaw in the fridge overnight, then bake as usual.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14.75 oz) salmon, drained and flaked
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or butter for frying

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4 patties

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the salmon, breadcrumbs, diced onion, parsley, egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined and holds together.
  2. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, pressing gently to ensure it holds its shape.
  3. Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil or butter. Once heated, add the salmon patties.
  4. Cook to Perfection: Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Be careful when flipping them to keep them from breaking apart.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with a paper towel to remove any excess oil. Serve warm with a side salad, rice, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for the Best Salmon Patties

  • Choose Your Salmon Wisely: Canned salmon is convenient and budget-friendly, but feel free to use fresh salmon if you prefer. Just cook it beforehand and flake it into pieces.
  • Get Creative with Add-ins: Love a bit of spice? Add a dash of paprika or chili powder. For a tangy twist, try adding a small amount of Dijon mustard.
  • Crispy Outside, Tender Inside: The key to a perfect salmon patty is a crispy exterior with a tender center. Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying to get that ideal texture.

FAQs

Yes! You can prepare the mixture and shape the patties up to a day in advance. Store them covered in the refrigerator and cook when ready.

What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Leftover salmon patties can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet to retain their crispiness.

Can I freeze these patties?
Absolutely! Place the cooked patties on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer them to a freezer bag once solid. They’ll last for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, reheat them directly from frozen in a skillet.
