Make this simple, creamy chili cheese dip using just three ingredients. It is perfect for game day, parties, or any gathering when you need a crowd-pleasing appetizer fast.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Combine the canned chili and softened cream cheese in a small slow cooker.
  2. Stir the mixture until the cream cheese is fully melted and the dip is smooth and combined.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the dip.
  4. Keep the dip warm on the ‘Keep Warm’ setting of the slow cooker until serving.
  5. Serve this hot cheese dip immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.

Notes

  • For a thicker dip, reduce the amount of chili slightly or add an extra half block of cream cheese.
  • If you do not have a slow cooker, you can combine the chili and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Then, stir in the cheddar cheese.
  • This recipe is a great base for queso variations; add diced green chiles or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
