This Crock Pot Chili Cheese dip uses only 4 ingredients but is full of meaty, cheesy deliciousness. The perfect dump and go slow cooker dip for all of your fall festivities- including game day!
I'm a Crock Pot lover all year round, but when September hits, I go all in on slow cooker dishes. What's not to love? It just makes everything so easy!
You may have heard of and enjoyed a version of this chili dip that is layered and baked. I love that one. It's so delicious. But I decided to switch it up and create a version that can be easily made in the Crock Pot with hardly any work.
The result? A creamy, cheesy dip that is just waiting to be scooped up with tortilla chips or spooned over hot dogs!
