How to make the best chili cheese dip with just 3 ingredients

This 3-ingredient dip is a family favorite! (One Good Thing )There is no shortage of sweet treats at our house during the holiday seasons! There's the treats we make for ourselves, the treats we eat at parties we attend, the stuff we make for neighbors, the stuff the neighbors make for us… the list goes on and on!

And while I do have a bit of a sweet tooth, I'll inevitably reach the "sweetness overload" stage at some point. After that, I usually start craving something salty!

So a few years ago, when my daughter-in-law Kaitlyn mentioned that she used to make an easy Chili Cheese Dip all the time when she was in college, I was highly intrigued!

I immediately went to my kitchen to see if I happened to have the necessary ingredients. And to my surprise, I did! (Though maybe it shouldn't have been all that surprising, considering I only needed three ingredients!)

I ended up making Kaitlyn's dip that very night, and a new family favorite was born! I've made it many times since then, and it's become a family tradition!

It's the perfect savory dip to help offset all those sweet treats. Pair it with some salty tortilla chips, and you'll have yourself a quick and easy snack that is almost impossible to put down! Here's how to make it at home.

Put cream cheese, salsa, and chili in a pot.

Add the cream cheese, salsa, and chili to a pot on your stovetop. (You can also use a slow cooker instead if you prefer!)

Cook over medium-low heat until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture is nice and warm. Serve it alongside your favorite tortilla chips!

That's literally all there is to it!

You don't have to wait for the holidays to enjoy this easy dip.

Not only do we love this dip during holidays, but it's perfect for just about any other occasion too! Have a big party or barbeque coming up? Just triple the amounts listed in the recipe card and dump it all in your slow cooker! Enjoy!
