Are you ready for game day? This delicious and easy Chili Cheese Dip It has everything you love about chili queso dip with added bacon and green chiles to make it even better.
As you may know, I do not watch football, but I do love to make the food for the game.
I’ve seen the commercials in the past that heat up this style of dip in the microwave. I prefer to keep the dip hot the entire game, and that’s why the crockpot is the way to go for me.
How to make Chili Cheese Dip:
You will need:
- Velveeta – 2 pounds
- Chili – 2 can (I use Hormel)
- Sour cream – 16 oz. container
- Fire-roasted green chiles – 7 oz. can
- Bacon – 6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
Directions:
- Add everything to the slow cooker.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 2.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Serve with tortilla chips.
Should I use chili with or without beans?
Either works great for thinning out the Velveeta, use what you like best. I prefer chili with beans.

- You can use any chili in this recipe and will turn out great.
- I use leftover Slow Cooker Chuckwagon Chili often for my chili cheese dip.
- Use 4 cups of homemade chili instead of canned.

Yes! Use an 8-ounce block of cream cheese in place of sour cream in this recipe.
Can I add a can of Rotel or Salsa to this dip?
- Add one can of Rotel or a 16-ounce jar of salsa to this recipe for added spice.

I’m like you Sarah! I’m not a sports fan but I do love the food. Thanks for the recipe. The new videos are a great addition.
Such a great idea to use the slow cooker to keep this dip warm for the entire game! 🙂 And I LOVE the addition of bacon- smart thinking!
Great job on the video! Some of my favorite ingredients are in this dip! Love the bacon you added!!

I love YouTube cooking videos! I have a few myself. My goal this year is to post at least one per month…I guess I better get on that or I’m going to miss my goal for January! I’ll have to go check yours out. Chili queso dip is one of my favorites.
