I made it and it was great, the crushed doritoes are a nice touch!
I loved this. My cream cheese was slightly softer than what I thought was good for a cheeseball so I thinned it out just a little more with greek yogurt, added 1/2 tsp of chili powder and dubbed it taco dip. Thanks for the inspiration. Next time I will use a different brand of cream cheese so I can do the cheeseball because I think it is SO stinking cute.
I made this for my club get together last night. Everyone loved it. Easy to make and perfect for fall 🙂
Awesome Cheryl! I am so glad everyone loved it 🙂
Made it – loved it! Very impressive looking appetizer. I used Hot Salsa and also served crackers in addition to the Nachos.
I’m making this cute thing for a get together that is 1 1/2 hrs away. Would the Doritos get too yucky if I put them on before the drive? Thanks for your help.
I think that should be ok 🙂
