Easy Chili Cheese Dip | How to Be Awesome o $20 a Day

This Easy Chili Cheese Dip is so simple, absolutely anyone can make it. It's also impossible to stop eating. Perfect for game day, game night, or any gathering. Get your friends together, and dig in.

I've lived with a proper football (aka soccer) fan for so long, I don't even know if people still watch American football. I have fond memories of everyone getting together at the weekend to watch what seemed like endless football. I was never really interested in the games, but the food was always pretty awesome.

Because it's all supposed to be "man food," whatever that means, you don't have to pretend to be healthy, which I love. Though I'm guessing there are probably plenty of vegan football fans these days. And that's cool, too. Not gonna lie, though, I'm here for the hot cheese dips consumed with an endless mountain of tortilla chips.

This Easy Chili Cheese Dip is exactly that kind of food. People don't really get together to watch the game here, so we just sometimes eat this for dinner because we're horrible people. And by horrible, I mean awesome. It's spicy, cheesy, gooey, and irresistible.

And as the name suggests, Easy Chili Cheese Dip is unbelievably simple to make. Spread a baking dish with some cream cheese. Mix together a can of your favorite chili with a jar of your favorite salsa. Scatter some shredded cheese over the top. Bake. Eat with chips. Live your best life.

Make Easy Chili Cheese Dip any time you get together with friends. Football, basketball, board games, book club, heck break this out at a baby shower and watch everyone lose their minds. This is the food you really want to eat. Let's do it.
