Instructions

1

Layer the Base

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the softened cream cheese in an even layer across the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish or a 9-inch oven-safe skillet, making sure to reach the edges.

2

Add Chili Layer

Pour the canned chili evenly over the cream cheese layer and spread gently with a spoon. Do not stir the layers together as keeping them separate creates a better texture and visual presentation when served.

3

Top with Cheese and Bake

Cover the entire surface with a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbling around the edges. Serve hot with tortilla chips.

Common mistakes

Using cold cream cheese straight from the refrigerator makes it impossible to spread into an even base layer and creates lumpy uneven dip
Overbaking causes the cream cheese to separate and release liquid which makes the dip watery and greasy rather than creamy
