Chili Cheese Dip: The Ultimate 3-Ingredient Tailgate, Potluck, or Party Favorite!

If you’re gearing up for a tailgate, planning a potluck, or just want a crowd-pleasing dish for your next gathering, this 3-ingredient Chili Cheese Dip is a total winner! It’s creamy, cheesy, and has the perfect kick of flavor from the chili. Not only is this dip super easy to make, but it’s also guaranteed to disappear quickly once it hits the table. Trust me, your guests will be coming back for seconds (and maybe thirds!).

Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese
8 oz cheddar cheese (divided)
1 can of chili (any variety you like!)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Mix it up. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, chili, and half of the cheddar cheese. Give it a good stir until everything is well blended.
Spread and top. Pour the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top for that cheesy finish.
Bake to perfection. Pop the dish into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Serve and enjoy! Once your Chili Cheese Dip is out of the oven, let it cool slightly and then dig in. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or even veggie sticks.
