Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (15 ounce) can chili (no beans recommended, like Hormel)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Velveeta, if preferred)
Instructions
- Combine the softened cream cheese and canned chili in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through until the mixture is mostly smooth.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and the dip is creamy.
- Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the cheese is completely incorporated and the dip is hot.
- Transfer the hot cheesy dip to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- For the best texture, make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
- If you want a spicier dip, use a spicy variety of canned chili or add a dash of hot sauce during the final stir.
- If you prefer using a slow cooker, combine all ingredients in a small crockpot set to low for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally until smooth and hot. This makes it a great slow cooker chili dip option for parties.
