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
- Prepare the Cheeses: Chop the Velveeta and cream cheese into small cubes to ensure they melt evenly during cooking.
- Assemble in Crockpot: Pour the canned chili into the crockpot and evenly place the cubed cheeses on top.
- Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the half packet of chili seasoning over the cheese and chili mixture for added flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
