Ingredients
Scale
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (15 ounce) can chili (no beans recommended for best texture)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small, oven-safe baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and the canned chili. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
Spread the chili and cream cheese mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
Notes
For a smoother dip, use Velveeta cheese instead of cheddar cheese.
If you use chili with beans, mash some of the beans slightly before mixing for a better texture.
You can prepare the dip mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before baking.
