When you are having guests over, a party or neighborhood gathering, this is the perfect food to share with family and friends alike. This dio contains three ingredients and only takes about five minutes of time to prepare it.
It can’t get much easier to be able to get a gooey Chili and Cheese dip together to have for a quick snack or to have as part of a buffet or party.
Who doesn’t like a dip that can taste so good on so many things? You can use Fritos, tortillas, other types of chips, toasty bread or a number of other items to dip into this great dip.
This is also perfect for those impromptu gatherings. This is actually kind of a nice dish to look at. It is a layered dip that you will be able to see if you put this is a clear glass bowl or dish.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What type of Cheese is suggested?
I do recommend Cheddar cheese that has been shredded. However, you could use any type of cheese that you prefer. This could be a Mexican Blend, Monterey Jack or even Mozzarella. There is no wrong choice.
Should I use canned chili?
The dish is easier to make, and much quicker, when you use canned Chili. However, you can use your own homemade Chili as long as it is not too runny.
Should it be spicy or can it be mild?
The amount of spice you use or add to the Chili is up to you. Canned Chilis are usually quite mild, so if you like a kick to your chili, you will want to add jalapeno peppers, Chili powder or even Hot Sauce.
How long will this dip last in the refrigerator?
The dip, as long as it is covered tightly, will last for 3 days in the refrigerator. However, you will not have it around that long.
Can I freeze the dip?
I would not suggest doing so. The cream Cheese may separate and have a completely different texture when it thaws again.
