Years ago, I made Hoagie dip. I thought it was nasty but everyone at the
party loved it. I know I got the recipe from Allrecipes but I do not
remember putting any lettuce or tomatoes in it. This is the recipe.

Another thing that people always seem to love is Espinaca Con Queso although
I have no actual recipe for it. I just make it until it looks right to me.
Basically a mixture of cream cheese and Velveeta (I use equal amounts of
each), melted slowly, then some chopped spinach, excess liquid squeezed out,
particularly if frozen but you can use fresh. Add plenty of spinach. You
want just enough cheese to hold it together. Then a little salsa to thin it
down. Serve warm with tortilla chips and/or raw veggies. This keeps well
in a Crockpot.
