DELICIOUS CHILI DIP



Delicious Chili Dip image

This is an old time recipe that you probably all know about, but is worth repeating. It is perfect for the big game, and everyone loves it.

Provided by Carol Perricone

Categories     Meat Appetizers

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (8 oz) bar of cream cheese
1 can(s) (15 oz) chili, with or without beans
1 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. In a shallow baking dish, (I use a pie plate), spread cream on bottom of dish.
  • 3. Cover cream cheese with chili, and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Serve with tortilla chips.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of chili pepper: Different chili peppers have different levels of heat, so choose one that is appropriate for your desired level of spiciness. If you're not sure, start with a milder pepper and add more to taste.
  • Toast your spices: Toasting your spices before adding them to the chili will help to release their flavor and aroma. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Brown your meat: Browning your meat before adding it to the chili will help to develop its flavor and add depth to the dish. You can brown it in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Simmer your chili for at least 30 minutes: The longer you simmer your chili, the more time the flavors will have to develop. Simmer it for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours if you have the time.
  • Add toppings: Once your chili is finished cooking, you can add a variety of toppings to customize it to your liking. Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, chopped cilantro, and crushed tortilla chips.

Conclusion:

Chili is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It can be made with a variety of ingredients, so there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy. Whether you like your chili mild or spicy, vegetarian or meat-based, there's a recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a delicious and comforting meal, give chili a try.
