Description
Make this ultimate easy chili cheese dip with just three ingredients. It is perfect for game days, parties, or any gathering. You can prepare this quickly on the stovetop or slowly in your Crockpot for hands-off cooking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10 ounce) package of Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 (15 ounce) can of chili (no beans preferred)
- 1 (10 ounce) can of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
Instructions
- Combine the Velveeta cheese, chili, and drained Ro-Tel in a medium saucepan or the bowl of a slow cooker.
- If using the stovetop, heat over low heat, stirring often until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
- If using a slow cooker, stir well and cook on low for 1 to 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until heated through and creamy.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers.
Notes
- For a thicker dip, use less Ro-Tel or drain more liquid from the chili.
- If the dip thickens too much while serving, stir in a tablespoon of milk or cream to restore creaminess.
- To use cream cheese instead of Velveeta, use 8 ounces of cream cheese and reduce the heat slightly during melting.
- This dip is great served with tortilla chips, celery sticks, crackers, or pieces of crusty bread.
