Chicken Enchilada Dip
Chicken Enchilada Dip is a mix of all my favorite flavors: cheese, chicken, beans, cream cheese, enchilada sauce, and more. This is the perfect dip for any party!
When I’m left to my own devices, I’ll choose cheese for dinner EVERY night. It’s part of the reason I waited so long to learn how to cook. Instead of making a whole meal for myself, I preferred to just eat whatever was easy and tasted good. Cheese dip is an acceptable meal, right? While you might not eat this cheesy Chicken Enchilada Dip recipe for dinner like I did, you will want to eat this for an appetizer or serve it at your next party.
This is the original Chicken Enchilada Dip recipe, and it’s inspired my spin-off Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Dip !

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
