Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
  • 25 ounces Hormel chili with beans

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Cream Cheese: Spread the softened cream cheese evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a smooth base layer.
  3. Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the shredded Mexican cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer to add cheesy richness.
  4. Add Chili Layer: Pour the entire can of Hormel chili with beans over the cheese layer, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
  5. Top with Remaining Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Mexican cheese on top of the chili layer for a melted cheesy finish.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly around the edges.
  7. Serve: Carefully remove the dish from the oven and serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced bread for dipping.

Notes

  • For a spicier dip, use a chili with added jalapeños or hot sauce.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy spreading.
  • This dip can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if chilled.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
