Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can chili (with or without beans)
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup salsa (mild, medium, or spicy)
- Tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
- Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chili, cream cheese, and salsa. Stir frequently until the cream cheese softens and combines with the chili.
- Once the mixture is smooth and steaming, add the shredded cheese in batches, stirring until fully melted and creamy.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm with tortilla chips.
- For a slow-cooker option, combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low, stirring occasionally, until melted and warm (about 1–2 hours).
Notes
Use freshly shredded cheese for smoother melting. If dip thickens, add a splash of milk or reserved salsa juice.
