Warm cheesy chili dip is by far my most popular appetizer, my family has been enjoying this tasty dip for years.
A slightly spicy and twangy flavored dip that we especially like with just plain corn chips, or scoops. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare and about 5 more to disappear…
This dip is perfect for holidays, parties, or just snacking.
If you are like me and need gluten-free products, the canned “bean-less” chili is difficult to find. So I suggest using your own chili recipe and leave out the beans and add extra meat. Of course… it would be okay to have beans in this dip too. I freeze small containers of my homemade gluten-free chili without beans, then I don’t have to make a big batch for a quick dip like this.
- Cream cheese
- Chili without beans like Hormel Chili Without Beans, Nalley Chili Big Chunk No Beans, or a gluten-free/allergy-friendly substitute
- Sharp cheese
- Tabasco
- Corn chips, scoops, crackers, or pretzels
This is soon to be a favorite…enjoy!
