Ingredients
Scale
1 (15 ounce) can chili (no beans recommended)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
Combine the chili and softened cream cheese in a medium saucepan.
Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is smooth and fully combined. This takes about 5 to 8 minutes.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the mixture and the dip is creamy.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.
Notes
For a slow cooker variation, combine all ingredients in a small slow cooker. Cook on low for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally until smooth. Keep warm on the ‘Keep Warm’ setting for serving.
If you prefer a thinner dip, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk or sour cream while heating.
For a spicier dip, use hot chili or add a dash of hot sauce with the cheese.
