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!

For other cream cheese dip recipes try buffalo chicken dip, classic taco dip, or cream cheese veggie dip.
