Notes
Storage: Store leftover dip in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
Ingredients: You can use any chili variety — vegetarian, bean-free, homemade chili, etc. You’ll want about 2 cups worth of chili.
Prep ahead: Assemble the dip on a platter or microwavable plate, cover with plastic wrap, and store in the fridge for 1–2 days. Pull it out and microwave when ready to serve — Aunt Debbie’s method!
Tools: A microwave-safe pie dish or shallow platter works perfectly for the layered presentation. If you prefer to bake it, a shallow pie plate at 375°F works well — start checking at 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. A mini slow cooker is also a great option for keeping it warm at a party (see FAQs).
