Description
Make this incredibly simple, creamy chili cheese dip using only three ingredients. It is perfect for game day, parties, or any time you need a quick, crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 ounce) can chili (no beans recommended)
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
Instructions
- Combine the can of chili and the softened cream cheese in your slow cooker.
- Stir the ingredients together until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is completely melted into the dip.
- Keep the dip warm on the ‘Keep Warm’ setting in the slow cooker for serving.
- Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a high-quality chili. If you prefer texture, use chili that contains beans.
- If you do not have a slow cooker, you can make this dip on the stovetop in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- This dip is excellent served over Fritos for a Frito Chili Cheese Dip experience.
- If the dip thickens too much while sitting, stir in a tablespoon of milk or a splash of water to return it to a smooth consistency.
