3 Ingredient Chili Cheese Dip Recipe (Crock pot)
Report
My 3-Ingredient Chili Cheese Dip Recipe is gooey, salty, savory, and perfect for dipping because it's made in the crock pot! It’s a wonder how just three simple ingredients make such a delicious and irresistible dip. Use leftover chili or canned chili and make it even easier.

Instructions
- Cut cream cheese into 1-inch cubes and place in the bottom of a small (6 quart or smaller) crockpot. Pour chili over the top, cover and cook on LOW for 1 hour, stirring halfway through. All slow cookers heat a little differently, on your crockpot you might need a little more time, but shouldn't take any longer than 2 hours on LOW. Mine was bubbling after 1 hour.
- During the last 15 minutes of cooking, stir in the shredded cheese, reserving ½-¼ cup to melt on top. Serve immediately.
- If more melty cheese is desired, transfer to baking dish or 2 quart casserole dish, sprinkle shredded mozzarella or your favorite cheese on top and broil 1-3 minutes (watch carefully) until bubbly and golden, serve immediately.
Oven Baked Chili Cheese Dip
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a deep dish pie plate or 2 quart casserole dish with spray oil.
- Soften the cream cheese and spread evenly in the bottom of the baking dish, using the back of a spoon or spatula. Pour chili evenly over the top, then top with shredded cheese. Bake 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve immediately.
Serve with
- Ideas for what to serve with 3 ingredient chili cheese dip; pretzel rods, Fritos Scoops, or regular Fritos, tortilla chips, pita chips, carrot chips, cucumber wheels, sliced peppers. Serve over hot dogs (like a chili cheese dog) or with hot French bread or crostini.
