Three Ingredient Chili Cheese Dip
Football season calls for dips that are easy, cheesy, and impossible to resist—and this Three Ingredient Chili Cheese Dip is exactly that. With just three simple layers—chive whipped cream cheese, hearty chili with beans, and freshly shredded Colby Jack—you’ll have a hot, bubbly dip ready in under 30 minutes. And let’s be real: this dip might just be good luck, too. Case in point—this past weekend when FSU beat Bama 31-17, I had this dip in the oven. Coincidence? I don’t think so! Here’s a little secret, My Texas Trash Dip is also one of my go to’s for a little good luck in sports.

👣 Tips & Tricks
- Double it: For a party-size dip, use 4 tubs cream cheese, 2 cans chili, and 2 blocks Colby Jack. Bake in a 9×13 dish for 25–30 minutes.
- Foil hack: Spray your foil with nonstick spray before covering so the cheese won’t stick.
- Add a little flair: Garnish with green onions, jalapeños, or hot sauce drizzle.
- Freshly shredded cheese is key: Skip the bagged stuff—pre-shredded cheese has a coating that keeps it from melting gooey.

🤔 Common Questions
Absolutely. Colby Jack melts beautifully, but cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend all work great.
This dip pairs well with crackers, pita chips, toasted baguette slices, or even fresh veggie sticks like celery and bell peppers.
Add the second container of cream cheese if you want it to be extra creamy!
