Super Delicious!
This dip would be absolutely perfect for the big game on Sunday! Thanks so much for sharing!
Wow! Only three ingredients ?! This is right up my alley! Perfect for game day!
This dip is super delicious. I can’t believe it’s this easy to make the dip.
minimal ingredients is exactly what I need to make food these days. This were a hit with the kids.
You had me at 3 ingredients! So simple to make and absolutely delicious too!
This looks sooo good! What brand of chili do you use? Can you make this vegetarian by using a can of chili beans? or vegetarian chili?
You can really use any kind of chili you like best! I would definitely get one that has more than jut chili beans. A vegetarian chili would be the way to go if you didn’t want the kind with meat.
What size package of cream cheese? I can’t believe no one asked. Must just be me who is missing it. Thanks.
It is an 8 ounce package of cream cheese. I changed the amount in the recipe. Thank you for asking!
I’ve never heard of dip this way, I’ve always used a 2lb. block of Velveeta with a can of hormel chili, no beans. Will try this!!
I’ve been making this for years except I also add a small jar of tostito’s salsa con queso…it gives it that yummy cheesy taste!
I make this also with a 1/2 cup cheddar in it and sprinkle lots of chopped cilantro on top. The cilantro makes it SO yummy!
I don't think I've ever commented before, but I've just gotta thank you for always posting the most yummy & do-able recipes! You've saved my life numerous times! This recipe in particular came in handy the other day when I had to come up with an appetizer last minute! Keep them coming!
I would like this more if it wasn't as runny as mine turned out.. Maybe I used defective chili.
I make the same way as Cathy above and it is sooooo delicious. I am craving it right now.
Hi:) I'm new to your blog-but I will be returning often! I've scrolled through alot of your recipes-YUM!
I make this all of the time, but I add 1 cup of salsa. MMMM so good!
I make this too, but I use the Nalley's Walla-Walla onion chili. It's a favorite around here!
Really? No cheddar in this recipe? I would have guessed that's what gave it the yellow color. I might have to give this a try since cheddar isn't that easy to find here, but canned chili and cream cheese are no problem.
Two fo my favroite things put together!!! Guess what I'm having for dinner?!
