This creamy dip has just 4 ingredients and couldn't be easier. We like to make this in the crockpot, but we included instructions for the stove and microwave as well.

Notes

Seasoning: We like lots of bold chili flavor in this dip, but the chili seasoning can make things a bit salty, especially if your chips are very salty. If you’d like to cut the salt back, use chili powder in place of chili seasoning or just stir the seasoning in at the end, to taste.
Stove Top: To make this on the stove, add all of the ingredients to a large sauce pan and set over low heat. Cook, stiffing often, until the cheese has melted and ingredients are combined. Be careful not to let the cheese burn on the bottom of the pan.
Microwave: Add everything to a large, microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring every minute. Serve hot.
