Ingredients

• Cream cheese softened
• can of Skyline Chili (Cincinnati chili)
• shredded cheddar cheese
• tortilla chips for serving

How to make Skyline Chili Dip

1. Preheat oven to 350 and spread cream cheese into the bottom of a pie plate or baking dish.
2. Top with canned chili and spread evenly.

3. Sprinkle shredded cheese on the top and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
4. Remove from oven and serve immediately with tortilla chips.

How to soften cream cheese:

• Leave it out at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour. This is the most common way to soften cream cheese.
• Microwave it for 5 to 10 seconds. Be careful not to overheat it, or it will become runny.
• Put it in a zip-top bag and submerge it in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes. This is a good option if you need to soften a large amount of cream cheese.

Once the cream cheese is soft, you can use it in recipes as usual.

What is skyline dip?

Skyline chili dip is a popular dip made with skyline chili, a Cincinnati-style chili. It is typically served with tortilla chips or crackers.

This dip is also widely made with other chili mix options like this Hormel Chili Dip or this classic chili cheese dip recipe.

Typically you can find cans of this chili at the store for a reasonable price. You can purchase Skyline chili on Amazon, but for some reason, it costs a fortune.

Many different types of toppings go well with chili cheese dip. Here are a few of the most popular ones:

How to dip it?

Skyline chili dip is typically dipped with tortilla chips or scoopable corn chips, but I like non-chip appetizer recipes like mini pigs in a blanket and sausage cheese balls too. 

• Pita chips are a great option for dipping in chili cheese dip. They are light and crispy, and they don’t get soggy quickly.
• Tortilla chips: Bagged tortilla chips are a classic choice for dipping in chili cheese dip. They are sturdy, and they hold up well to the dip. I also like to make my own homemade tortilla chips or air-fried tortilla chips recipe.

How to store it?

Skyline chili dip can be stored in the refrigerator for three days.
