Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces of Velveeta 2% Milk This is about half a box
  • 1 Can No Bean Chili
  • Cast Iron Skillet
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 3 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions

  • Cut up the cheese into small sections.
  • Add the cheese and milk into a saucepan or skillet over medium heat.
  • Stir frequently until the cheese starts to melt.
  • Add the spice and lime juice and stir well
  • add the chili, stirring until everything is well combined and melted.
  • Serve immediately with chips.

Notes

I like to use the 2% Velveeta instead of the original because not only does the cheese melt better but it also has less fat than the original version.
We also love to serve it with a cup of salsa so everyone can switch up their flavors a little bit.
