When you want a warm, comforting dip that’s quick to make and packed with flavor, this Chili Cheese Dip is a go-to crowd-pleaser. Using creamy Velveeta cheese and a can of your favorite chili, this recipe comes together in minutes and delivers that perfect combination of cheesy richness and hearty chili goodness.
This is one of the easiest snacks to have on hand whenever it’s needed. You can freeze leftover Velvetta to use anytime. If you don’t happen to have a can of Rotel, you can easily make it without.

Helpful Tips
- Choose Your Chili Wisely – Whether you prefer a mild chili or a spicy one, pick a canned chili that suits your taste. If you want more heat, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or some chopped jalapeños.
- Help It Get Smooth – Cut the Velveeta into small cubes before melting to help it melt evenly and prevent clumps.
- Make It Ahead – You can prepare the dip ahead of time and reheat gently on the stove or in a slow cooker before serving. Just stir occasionally to keep it creamy.
