written by The Recipe Exchange | September 19, 2026

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
15-ounce can Cincinnati-style chili, like Skyline Chili or Gold Star
1.5 to 2 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese

Optional toppings: Diced white onions or sliced green onions

Serving: Tortilla chips or Frito’s Scoops

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Spread the softened cream cheese in an even layer on the bottom of an 8-inch or 9-inch pie plate or baking dish.

Layer the chili evenly right over the cream cheese. Add optional diced onions here if you like.

Top with a thick layer of shredded cheddar for 20 minutes until the cheese melts and the edges bubble.

Cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm with corn chips.
