Make Cheese Dip in the Crockpot!

When I made my Cheesy Chili Dip I didn’t realize what a HUGE hit it would be – but it was! That’s when I started noticing how often I saw Crockpot Chili Cheese Dip at parties.

I first tasted this dip at a BBQ last summer and was shocked at how easy the host said it was to prepare: just 2 ingredients! And she set the crockpot and walked away and it cooked itself. GENIUS.

2 Ingredient Dip

  • Cream Cheese: Make sure it’s softened. When it comes to cream cheese you should use a block cream cheese, and use your favorite brand.
  • Chili: For the chili, use your favorite. My friend who gave me the recipe said a chili without beans is best, but use what you like (or even a vegetarian chili). Just use the brand you prefer!

How to make Cheese Dip in the Crock Pot

  • Place cream cheese and chili in crock pot. Stir – it’s easiest if you use a hand mixer to mix it all together.
  • Cook on high or low until melty and hot.

Slow Cooker Tips

  • Use a small crockpot for this (about a 2 Qt).
  • I cooked mine on high for about 2 hours but you just want to cook it until the cheese is soft (melted) and the dip can be stirred together. Then turn it to warm.
  • All slow cookers cook differently – age, brand, use – so make sure you do what your gut tells you about how hot yours gets.

Serving Suggestions

  • Tortilla Chips
  • Fritos
  • Celery or carrots
  • Top with shredded cheddar cheese and let the crock pot cook a bit longer for an even cheesier dip recipe!
  • To serve this dip just set the crockpot to the warm setting and it’s stay warm throughout the party.

FAQs

How do you keep cheese from burning in a crock pot?

Be sure to not over cook this – I recommend cooking it on low for several hours to avoid the cheese burning.

Yes cream cheese will melt in the slow cooker after about an hour or two.
