Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier dip, consider adding a splash of milk or sour cream while heating the chili and cream cheese. You can also substitute the chili with a spicier variant or homemade chili for a personal touch. If you're looking for a vegetarian option, try using a meat-free chili. This dip can be easily paired with your favorite corn chips or even tortilla triangles for a crunchier texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dip hot as a delicious appetizer or snack. It pairs beautifully with corn chips, but you can also offer it alongside veggies for a healthier option. Consider serving it with sides like guacamole or salsa for an extra flavor boost. For a complete meal, it can complement dishes like Black Bean Enchiladas or be part of a nacho spread featuring No-Nonsense Nachos.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm the dip in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to maintain a smooth consistency. Alternatively, you can microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until heated through. Be sure not to overheat to avoid separation.
