Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 ounce) can chili without beans
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Combine the canned chili and softened cream cheese in a medium saucepan.
- Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the cream cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the mixture and the dip is fully combined and creamy.

- If you prefer a spicier cheese dip, substitute half of the cheddar cheese with pepper jack cheese.
- This recipe is excellent served as a warm cheese dip alongside cut vegetables.
