    This Easy Taco Dip was shared with me by my daughter Haley, and it was shared with her by her roommate Sarah! Haley says they make it quite often in their dorm at college.

    Our latest cook-off theme was Dips! A whole range of savory dips, hot dips, cold dips, even a sweet dip. But which dips took home the gold? Check out this post and see!

    She and Sarah must be on to something because this Taco Dip netted Haley the win for the Best Hot Dip category in our Dip Cook-Off! (Read more about the Dip Cook-Off here!)

    With only three ingredients, you really have no excuse not to try this award-winning dip!
