Chili Cheese Dip
This Chili Cheese Dip is perfect for parties and get togethers! It’s the perfect appetizer or snack. We make this dip all the time when we are watching our favorite sports on TV – especially football. There’s nothing better than gathering around a table full of snacks and drinks to watch a football game in the Fall. Sometimes I put the dip into a little slow cooker on low to keep it nice and warm while we are dipping our chips. It never lasts long though and always gets polished off. You can easily double or triple the recipe depending on how big of a crowd you are entertaining! It may not seem like much, but these ingredients together will keep you coming back for more!
Different Ways to Dip
The chips we typically grab with this dip are tortilla chips, but we also like to eat this dip with Fritos. The combo of the chips with the chili cheese dip flavors is awesome! You can also dip taquitos or quesadillas – really whatever you have on hand! I’m sure even some baby carrots and celery sticks have ended up in this dip at one time or another. If you are looking for a little bit of spice in your dip – feel free to add a can of green chiles or some ground cayenne pepper! Make it as spicy as you want!
