This dip is perfect for the Big Game Day Party, holidays, potluck and just for snacking! Everyone will love it. For another delicious dip idea, try Rotel Dip Recipe.

How to Make Crockpot Chili Cheese Dip

Step 1 – Take the Velveeta cheese and cube it. Put in the crock pot. We used a 3 quart crock pot.

Step 2 – Add the green chilies and 2 cans of chili on top of the cheese.

Step 3 – Cover and cook for about 2 hours on low. You can cook on high if you prefer but only for an hour. You just want the cheese to melt. I like to stir it occasionally.

Recipe Tips

  • Crock Pot Recommendations – I normally make this in a 3 quart crock pot. However, if you are serving this at a party or feeding a crowd, you can use a regular size crock pot and just double the recipe.  
  • Crockpot liners– These are definitely worth the extra cost. Cleanup is so easy with these liners.
  • Stir Occasionally – Keeps the cheese from sticking or burning on the edges.
  • Keep Warm – Set your slow cooker to Warm during parties to keep the dip creamy.

Serving Recommendations

  • Corn chips
  • Tortilla Chips
  • Veggies- Carrot Sticks and Celery Sticks are good
  • Pita chips

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Make this on the Stove?

Yes! Heat over medium-low in a large skillet, stirring often until smooth and bubbly. See Chili Cheese Dip Recipe or this Velveeta Chili Cheese Dip for even more tips.

Should I Use Chili with or without Beans?

This comes down to preference. Either options will work and the dip will be delicious. If you don’t care for beans, use the chili without. If you love beans, try adding the kind that has beans.
We have even used homemade chili in this dip. It is a great way to use leftover chili and turn into something new and delicious.

Can I Add a Can of Rotel to this Dip?

Yes, you can do this several different types of ways. Omit the 2 cans of green chilis and add 1 can of rotel instead. Another option is to use one can of green chilies and add the rotel. Both options are yummy.
It will just be a little more spicy if you add the rotel with the green chilies.
We also sometimes add a block of cream cheese to the dip. Just cube the cream cheese and add with the other ingredients.

Storage Tips

  • Fridge – Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The leftovers will last about 3-4 days.
  • Freezer – Once the dip has cooled, place in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight when ready to reheat.
  • Reheating – Place the leftovers in a microwave safe bowl and reheat. You can even reheat in the slow cooker or on the stovetop in a saucepan.
