- Transfer this mixture into a 9- to 10-inch pie dish. Spread into an even layer.
- Top with lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers or jalapeños, olives, and cheese. You can reserve about 2 tablespoons of some toppings to sprinkle over the cheese to make it pretty.

Notes
*Tip: To quickly soften cream cheese, microwaved unwrapped cream cheese for 10 seconds, or until just softened. Read the post for more tips.
