I simplify party preparation by using my slow cooker to create this thick, cheesy dip. Your guests wont believe how good it is!

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons canola oil

2 cans (15 ounces each) chili without beans

2 cups salsa

2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, cubed

2 cans (2-1/4 ounces each) sliced ripe olives, drained

Tortilla chips

In a small skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.

Transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the chili, salsa, cream cheese and olives. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Stir before serving with tortilla chips. yield: 6 cups.
