Ingredients

  • 1 cup chili (prepared, with or without beans)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, add the chili, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk together.
  2. Heat Mixture: Warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the cheese from sticking to the pan or burning.
  3. Stir Until Smooth: Continue stirring and heating until the cheese has fully melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Serve Warm: Once fully melted and smooth, transfer the chili cheese dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately with chips, crackers, or veggies.

Notes

  • Use prepared chili to save time or homemade chili for a fresher taste.
  • Adjust milk quantity to achieve desired dip consistency.
  • For extra heat, add jalapeños or hot sauce.
  • Use a non-stick pan to minimize sticking and ease cleaning.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor; reheat gently if needed.
