4.4 from 127 reviews

This creamy, flavorful Chili Cheese Dip combines Velveeta, cream cheese, and chili seasoned to perfection. Slow-cooked to melty perfection in a crockpot, it’s an irresistible party favorite served warm 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

Seasoning

  • 1/2 packet chili seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheeses: Chop the Velveeta and cream cheese into small cubes to ensure they melt evenly during cooking.
  2. Assemble in Crockpot: Pour the canned chili into the crockpot and evenly place the cubed cheeses on top.
  3. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the half packet of chili seasoning over the cheese and chili mixture for added flavor.
  4. Cook the Dip: Cover the crockpot and cook on the low setting for about 1 hour. Stir occasionally until the cheeses have melted completely and the dip is hot and creamy.
  5. Serve Warm: Switch the crockpot to the ‘warm’ setting to maintain temperature, and serve the dip straight from the crockpot with tortilla chips or Fritos. Alternatively, transfer to a serving bowl before serving.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of chili seasoning to taste for more or less spice.
  • Using Velveeta helps achieve a smooth, creamy texture that’s perfect for dips.
  • For a bean variation, you can use chili with beans instead of beanless chili.
  • Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking on the edges.
