Ingredients for Best Ever Nacho Cheese Dip

  • Velveeta Mexican Cheese
  • Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Hormel Chili

How to Make Best Ever Nacho Cheese Dip

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup canned chili. Stir well to combine.
  2. Add 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese to the sour cream and chili mixture.
  3. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Stir well to combine the cheeses and ensure even melting.
  4. Continue microwaving in 2-minute intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the cheese is completely melted and the dip is smooth and creamy (about 7-10 minutes total).
  5. Remove from microwave and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite white corn tortilla chips.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
