Chili Cheese Dip
- Preheat grill to 350° F.
- Unroll wiener wrap and cut each rectangle into a triangle. Cut each triangle in half so that you have two triangle pieces. Roll a slice around each cocktail weiner, forming a pig in a blanket.
- Place each pig in a blanket side by side in a skillet, forming a wreath shape. Brush the top of each one with olive oil.
- In a medium sized bowl, mix chili and 8 oz. of cheddar. Pour mixture into center of wreath, about half way. Sprinkle the top with extra cheese.
- Grill for 20-30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese has melted. Top dip with chopped green onion and let cool for 5-7 minutes before serving.
