Always a hit, I keep it warm in my rice cooker and I use 2 cans of Chili w/beans. Comes out perfect every time, I use Tostitos Scoops.

I have been making a similar dip for almost 40 yrs, given to me by a co-worker, but hers added a can of diced green chilies. This is always a hit at work potlucks, showers, and big sports weekend parties!
Douglas Boyd
We have been enjoying this recipe for about 40 years. Wouldn’t change a thing!
Steven Fry
Added a can of Rotel drained.

Pretty darn simple! You can’t really go wrong with this one- it goes quickly & is extremely popular for an easy appetizer. My only issue: it solidifies extremely quick after heating & removing from heat. So, if you have one of the mini slow cookers- keeping it in that is ideal to keep it at the warm, creamy consistency. Otherwise, you’ll need to keep warming it if it sits for more than 30 minutes, having to stir it before it begins to solidify. Served this with some Frito scoops & tortilla chips- perfect combo for taco night, as many opted to “sauce” up their tacos, too!

It was a perfect football snack dish as a tortilla chip dip.

Simplest dip I’ve made. Not the absolute best, but darn good and when you’re juggling other things for the “Big Game” this is a great way to take some pressure off. Throw a bowl of this and a bag of chips out to buy some time while you tend to the brisket. I’ve made other dips that might get 5 stars, but this is just TOO easy. About a 3.5 dip with an upgrade for ease.
William Ramsey
So easy and tasty!
Nicole Hoffman
Nice quick dip. Everyone loved it with chips. But I put it on top of tater tots instead of dipping chips in it 🙂 Yummers!
Kevin Hansen
Doesn’t get any easier than this! Great taste and will make again and again!

An easy family favorite from the very first time we made it. So consistent & so versatile too.

Chili and Velveeta cheese- what’s not to love about that combo?! This would be great for a party dip while watching sports or for having an easy appetizer for guests!
Lauren Crawford
This Velveeta was so overpowering that it was difficult to tell that there was chili in the recipe. My husband commented the same. So I decided to add another can of the chili and it was much better. It still seemed to lack something. I may try this again and use one can of chili and one can of Rotel tomatoes. We ate this with tortilla chips and also experimented with garlic bread sticks.

This was an awesome recipe. My family has never been a fan of chili and cheese dips (especially not processed cheese ones) but I wanted to give it a try. My husband picked out the Velveeta Jalapeno cheese dip to mix with it. It was delicious! We (4 of us) went through two whole cans of chili (with one full block of the cheese) in a day. The chili had a great flavor and you couldn’t tell the cheese was what it was. We’ll definitely make it as a side for parties in the future!
William Dunn
As written this was ok- it was a little thick and cheesy for our tastes- it was also a little mild and we like more kick. I ended up adding a second can of chili (with beans), 2 Tbsp diced jalapeños, and 1/4 C half and half. Perfection with tortilla chips! I’m glad I used the chili with beans, we really enjoyed them in this dip.
Jason Campos
This was super easy and really tasty. I love that I can keep these ingredients on hand for a flavorful dip for snacking or unexpected guests.
Natalie Patterson
My family loves this dip! I use Mexican cheese, chili no beans, and 1/2 1b. browned ground beef.
Matthew Baker
I have made this dip for years switching the chili for spicy chili and made it in my mini crockpot for potlucks at work. It is an easy no fuss appetizer. I have (if any left overs) put it on a omelet the next day. Great Super Bowl snack.
Justin Salinas
Had this at a party & it was delicious
Shawn Riley
I got this recipe from a co-worker and she uses 1 can turkey chili to one 8oz block cream cheese, chopped green onion and a pkg of cherry tomatoes cut in half. She adds veggies after heating in microwave for couple minutes, serves with Tostitos scoop chips…yummo!!
Carlos Fischer
I’ve been making this for years…it’s always a favorite. I’ve made it as the recipe reads, and at other times I added a can of Rotel tomatoes with chile…gives you some heat. I prefer the original recipe.
