Description

This Crockpot Chili Cheese Dip is a creamy, cheesy, and flavorful party favorite that’s easy to make and perfect for gatherings. Combining homemade or canned chili with Velveeta, cream cheese, and salsa, it’s slowly cooked in a crockpot until warm, gooey, and perfectly melded. Serve with chips, veggies, or bread for a satisfying appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Chili

  • 3 cups homemade chili or 2 cans (15.5 oz each) chili

Cheese

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into blocks
  • 32 oz block of Velveeta cheese, cubed or 1 1/2 cups shredded

Condiments

  • 1/4 cup salsa

Instructions

  1. Add chili: Pour 3 cups of homemade chili or two 15.5-ounce cans of chili into the crockpot as the flavorful base for the dip.
  2. Add cream cheese: Cut the 8 ounces of cream cheese into blocks and place them evenly over the chili in the crockpot to add richness and creaminess.
  3. Add Velveeta cheese: Cut the 32-ounce block of Velveeta cheese into cubes and distribute on top of the cream cheese and chili for that classic melty cheese texture.
  4. Add salsa: Pour 1/4 cup of salsa over the layered mixture to introduce a tangy and slightly spicy flavor dimension.
  5. Mix ingredients: Gently mix all the ingredients in the crockpot until well combined, making sure the cheeses are integrated throughout.
  6. Cook: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook for 3-4 hours or on high for 2 hours, stirring once halfway through to promote even melting and blending of flavors.
  7. Serve: Once fully cooked and gooey, serve the dip warm with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, corn chips, bread, or hot dogs for dipping and enjoying.

Notes

  • Using homemade chili adds a fresh touch, but canned chili is a convenient and flavorful shortcut.
  • Stir the dip once halfway through cooking for even melting and to prevent sticking.
  • You can adjust the amount of salsa to suit your preferred spice level.
  • This dip can be kept warm in the crockpot on the ‘keep warm’ setting during parties.
  • For a spicier dip, consider adding diced jalapeños or hot sauce.
