It’s great to be able to keep ingredients on hand for when you need to whip something up really quick. You know… for when neighbors or friends stop by unexpectedly and you want to throw a little something together. Keep these three ingredients on hand (plus some chips), and you will be able to whip up a hot appetizer in 10 minutes!

Ingredients needed:

cream cheese can of chili shredded cheddar cheese

How to make Chili Cheese Dip:

Spread cream cheese into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan. It’s easiest to use a glass pyrex pan since you will be heating it in the microwave. Next spread a can of chili on top of the cream cheese. It can be a bean chili or a meat chili or whatever chili you like. Shredded cheddar cheese is sprinkled on top of the chili. Use mild or sharp. Or if there is another kind of cheese you prefer, then use that! Microwave for 5 minutes. That’s it!

Serve immediately while it is nice and hot. Serve with regular tortilla chips or nacho cheese flavored tortilla chips for dunking.

It’s best to provide some individual dishes so people can spoon some of the dip into their own dish and use chips to dunk. You don’t really want everyone dipping into the same dish, and this will help prevent any double dipping from happening too. Enjoy!
