A creamy, melty chili cheese dip made effortlessly in a slow cooker, featuring jalapeños for a spicy kick and perfect for game day or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups (200 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) canned chili (with or without beans)
  • 1–2 fresh jalapeño peppers, finely diced
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large bag (9–10 oz / 255–280 g) scoops chips

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes until soft.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sour cream until creamy and smooth (2-3 minutes). Add garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper; mix well.
  3. Finely dice jalapeño peppers (remove seeds for less heat) and thinly slice green onions; set aside.
  4. Transfer the cream cheese mixture to the slow cooker insert. Fold in canned chili, diced jalapeños, and half of the green onions gently.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top without stirring.
  6. Cook on low heat for 2 to 2½ hours, checking occasionally. Stir gently once halfway through if needed.
  7. Before serving, stir the dip gently to combine melted cheese and chili smoothly. Garnish with remaining green onions.
  8. Serve immediately with scoops chips.

Notes

Softening the cream cheese completely before mixing prevents lumps. Layer shredded cheddar on top instead of mixing it in for a gooey melted cheese layer. Adjust jalapeño quantity to control heat. If dip is too thick after cooking, stir in a splash of milk or cream. Keep on warm setting if not serving immediately.
