Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chili (no beans recommended)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine the softened cream cheese and chili in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Heat over medium-low heat on the stove, stirring frequently until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  3. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese until it is fully incorporated and melted into the dip.
  4. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a hearty chili variety.
  • If you prefer a thinner dip, add one or two tablespoons of milk while heating.
  • Keep this dip warm in a small slow cooker on the ‘Keep Warm’ setting for parties.
