EASY BAKED LAYERED CHILI CHEESE DIP



Easy Baked Layered Chili Cheese Dip image

The complete dip can be prepared and refrigerated until ready to bake. The jalapeno is only optional, I like to add it into the cream cheese. The success of this dip will depend on the quality of chili you use so make certain to use a good-quality canned chili or use homemade, for extra heat use extra spricy chili.

EASY CHILI-CHEESE DIP



Easy Chili-Cheese Dip image

This is o simple and soo good. I remember me and my roomies lived off of this at spring break at Padre Island cause we spent all our money on booze!!

Provided by Jessica K

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 10m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

8 ounces brick Velveeta Mexican cheese (the small brick, any flavor would do, but Mexican is awesome)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chili (with or without beans is fine, your preference)

Steps:

  • Slice up Velveeta brick into chunks in a big microwave safe bowl. Pour can of chili over it.
  • Microwave for 2 minutes, stir. Microwave 2 more minutes and stir.
  • Velveeta should be completely melted by now, but if not microwave 1 more minute and stir.
  • Dip tortilla chips into it, or we like plain Ruffles, too. Or I have dipped just tortillas in it, too. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your dip a more complex flavor. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and cream cheese are all good choices.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder are all classic choices, but you can also try adding things like smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or chipotle powder.
  • Make sure your cheese dip is thick enough. You don't want it to be too runny, or it will be difficult to dip your chips or crackers into it. If your dip is too thin, you can add more cheese or cornstarch.
  • Serve your cheese dip with a variety of dippers. Chips, crackers, and vegetables are all great options. You can also try serving it with bread or tortillas.
  • Keep your cheese dip warm. This will help it stay melted and gooey. You can do this by placing it in a slow cooker or by keeping it on a warm burner on your stove.

Conclusion:

Beef chili cheese dip is a delicious and easy-to-make party food. It's perfect for game day, potlucks, or any other occasion where you're looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer. So next time you're entertaining guests, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
