A creamy and flavorful Chili Cheese Dip made with Velveeta, cream cheese, and chili, slow-cooked in a crockpot to create a perfect hot dip for parties and gatherings. This easy-to-make recipe combines cheesy goodness with a mild chili seasoning, served best with tortilla chips or Fritos.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheeses

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

Chili

  • 15 ounces canned chili without beans
  • 1/2 packet chili seasoning mix (about 1 tablespoon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheeses: Chop the Velveeta and cream cheese into cubes so they can melt evenly and quickly in the crockpot.
  2. Layer Ingredients: Add the canned chili without beans to the bottom of the crockpot. Place the cubed Velveeta and cream cheese evenly over the chili layer.
  3. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle half a packet of chili seasoning over the cheese and chili to enhance the flavor.
  4. Cook the Dip: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 1 hour. Stir the mixture occasionally during this time until the cheese is completely melted and the dip is hot and creamy.
  5. Serve: After cooking, set the crockpot to ‘warm’ to keep the dip at serving temperature. Serve the dip straight from the crockpot with tortilla chips or Fritos, or transfer it to a serving bowl if preferred.

Notes

  • Using half a packet of chili seasoning balances the flavors without making the dip too spicy.
  • For a thicker or spicier dip, you can add more seasoning or use a chili with beans if preferred.
  • This dip is best served warm and fresh but can be reheated gently in the crockpot or microwave.
  • Substitute Velveeta with any good quality processed cheese if desired, but Velveeta ensures the best creamy melt.
