Add Cream Cheese: Cube the cream cheese and add it to the bowl with the chili. This addition will create a creamy texture that complements the chili perfectly.

Microwave: Place the bowl in the microwave and heat it on HIGH for 2 minutes. This initial cooking will help soften the cream cheese and mix the flavors.

Stir: After the first 2 minutes, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!). Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine the cream cheese with the chili evenly.

Continue Heating: Return the bowl to the microwave and heat on HIGH for an additional 2 minutes. This will ensure that the dip is hot throughout and the flavors are fully blended.
-
Serve: Once heated, remove the bowl from the microwave, give it another quick stir, and serve the warm chili dip with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy!
