15 minute Chili Cheese Dip

This warm and savory chili cheese dip is ready in just 15 minutes from start to finish and is perfect with crunchy chips or over hot dogs and burgers!

You know those days where you literally just want to plant yourself on the couch and do nothing except watch TV and eat? Seriously, why can’t we all just say it out loud. “I want to be a lazy pants in my favorite sweatshirt on the couch ALL day and just put food to my face.” There. I said it.

Well that was me last Sunday. I was pretty okay with contributing nothing to society whatsoever. The biggest problem with this kind of mood though, is that the kitchen is completely abandoned. There aren’t soup pots simmering on the stove, or warm cookies baking in the oven. You can literally hear crickets. *chirp*

That’s why this 15 minute chili cheese dip and I get along real well. You dump some stuff in a pot and wait for it to get warm so that you can eat it minutes later. Now that’s heaven, right there.
