This Chili Cheese Dip never fails to satisfy my cheesy cravings. It’s delicious, super cheesy, and it’s made with just three ingredients!
This is the best dip I’ve made! A three-ingredient dip that I can easily prep in about five minutes. The combination of salty, chili cheese flavor of this dip is to die for! It’s an amazing choice to serve at parties, game days, or movie nights. And this goes out very fast! Fortunately, it doesn’t take long to whip up a fresh batch after the first one is devoured!
What You Need To Make This 3-Ingredient Chili Cheese Dip:
- Cheddar cheese
- Cream cheese
- A can of chili
Steps To Make Chili Cheese Dip:
Step 1: Allow the cream cheese to soften before spreading it in your baking dish.
Step 2: Over the cream cheese in the baking dish, spread the can of chili (you are welcome to use your fave variety).
Step 3: Then, cover everything with cheddar cheese.
Step 4: Bake in the oven until the cheese is slightly bubbly and has melted.
Once done, pull the dip out and begin dipping! Enjoy this mouthwatering dip with your favorite corn or tortilla chips.
If you are feeling adventurous, you can also throw in your favorite toppings like pickled jalapeno, chopped onion, fresh cilantro, bacon, pico de gallo, or a dollop of sour cream. Trust me, this dip is a game-changer!
Each scoop contains a bite of hot chili, but the heat is moderated by the creamy cream cheese underneath, and you also get a ton of gooey cheddar cheese pulls along the way. In other words, this dip satisfies every single indulgent dip note!
Frequently Asked Questions
Is canned chili necessary?
I prefer using canned chili for convenience. But you are welcome to use homemade chili. Simply use about 1.5 cups of homemade chili instead of canned chili.
Can I cook this chili cheese dip in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! Just dump everything in the slow cooker and mix well. Set to cook for about 2 to 3 hours on high until the dip is bubbly and completely heated.
What to pair with chili cheese dip?
I love serving this rich, gooey dip with Fritos and tortilla chips. But this goes well with French fries if you are craving some chili-cheese-fries vibe. This dip is also great with veggies like carrot slices, bell pepper strips, mini bell peppers, or radish slices.
