Ingredients
Scale
1 (10.75 ounce) package Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
1 (15 ounce) can chili, no beans
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
Instructions
Place the cubed Velveeta cheese and the softened cream cheese into the basin of your slow cooker.
Pour the can of chili (do not drain) over the cheeses.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 1 to 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes until the cheeses are fully melted and the dip is smooth.
Once smooth, switch the slow cooker to the WARM setting to keep the dip ready for serving.
Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
For a slightly thinner dip, add 2 tablespoons of milk or half-and-half when melting the cheeses.
If you do not have a slow cooker, you can combine all ingredients in an oven-safe skillet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
This dip pairs well with celery sticks and bell pepper strips for dipping.
