This creamy and savory Chili Cheese Dip combines Velveeta, cream cheese, and flavorful chili seasoned perfectly for a crowd-pleasing appetizer. It’s easy to prepare in a crockpot and ideal for parties, game days, or casual gatherings served warm with chips.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 16 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed

Chili

  • 15 ounces canned chili without beans

Seasoning

  • 1/2 packet chili seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheese: Chop the Velveeta and cream cheese into cubes to ensure they melt evenly and quickly in the crockpot.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Pour the canned chili without beans into your crockpot then place the cubed Velveeta and cream cheese evenly on top of the chili layer.
  3. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle half a packet of chili seasoning over the cheese and chili to add extra flavor and spice to the dip.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid, set it to low heat, and cook for 1 hour. Stir the mixture occasionally during this time to help the cheeses melt smoothly and the dip heat through evenly.
  5. Serve: Once the cheese has fully melted and the dip is hot, set the crockpot to the ‘warm’ setting to keep it at serving temperature. Serve the dip directly from the crockpot with tortilla chips or Fritos, or transfer to a serving bowl if preferred.

Notes

  • Using Velveeta cheese helps create a smooth, creamy texture that’s ideal for dipping.
  • Chili seasoning packet contents may vary; adjust the seasoning quantity to your taste preference if desired.
  • This dip can also be made in a slow cooker or a microwave, though the crockpot method provides the best consistent melting and warming.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor; leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently.
  • For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
