HOT ITALIAN TOMATO AND CREAM CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Heat stewed tomatoes till a bit bubbly and add the cream cheese.
• Stir until well blended.
• Remove from heat and serve in a nice serving bowl with tortilla chips or chunks of Italian bread.
• I sometimes will cut out the center of a round bread, line the inside with foil and pour in the dip.
• Cut up the center portion of the bread and use it to dip into the dip.
• Caution: if you do the bread bowl idea -- make sure you line it well so the liquid doesn't have a chance to soak into the outside rim of the bowl -- I have done that by accident and it is not a pretty sight!
