- 12 oz cream cheese cubed
- 15 oz jarred salsa mild, medium, or hot
- 12 oz canned chili with beans
Stovetop: Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Slow Cooker: Add ingredients and set to Low heat.
Heat, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese is fully melted and everything is well combined.
Stir until smooth, then serve hot with tortilla or corn chips. Absolutely divine!
- Spice it up! Add a pinch of cayenne, red pepper flakes, or diced jalapeños if you like it extra spicy.
- Make it extra creamy: Stir in ¼ cup of milk for a looser consistency.
- Meaty upgrade: Try adding ½ cup of cooked ground beef, chorizo, or shredded chicken for a heartier dip.
- Serving tip: Keep the dip warm in a slow cooker on the Warm setting if serving at a party.
- Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed.
