- In your bowl (or baking dish if you’re feeling lazy), mix together the softened cream cheese and chili until it’s all nice and smooth. Don’t worry if it’s not PERFECTLY smooth, a few little lumps are totally fine.
- Stir in most of the cheddar cheese, but save a little bit for topping. We want that melty, golden goodness on top!
- Spread the mixture evenly in your prepared dish. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on it, you don’t want it to burn!
- Microwave Method: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine that softened cream cheese and chili.
- Microwave on high for about 2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is heated through.
- Stir in most of the cheddar cheese, save some for topping, and microwave for another 30 seconds, or until the cheese is melted.
- Whether you go oven or microwave, let the dip cool for a minute or two before serving. It’s HOT!
And BOOM! You’ve got an amazing dip ready to party! I told you it was easy!

Got questions? I got answers! Here are a few of the most common things folks ask me about about before they dive face-first into this cheesy goodness!
Can I use different types of cheese?
Absolutely! Cheddar’s my go-to, but Monterey Jack, Colby, or even a spicy Pepper Jack would be delicious! Go wild and experiment! Just avoid pre-shredded cheese if you can. I find it melts better when you shred it yourself.

Can I use a different type of chili?
Sure thing! I usually go for chili with beans ’cause, well, I’m lazy. But you could totally use chili without beans, vegetarian chili, or even make your own chili from scratch if you’re feeling ambitious. Just remember, the chili is a big part of the flavor, so choose one you love!
