Smoked Chili Cheese Dip

Are you looking for an easy appetizer to serve your family and friends at your next get together? Well I have the perfect idea, Smoked Chili Cheese Dip. Serve with some Tortilla and Corn Chips, and everyone will be digging in to this delicious Dip.

Ingredients:

2 (8-ounce) blocks of Cream Cheese

BBQ Rub of your choice (I used Luvafoodie Barbecue Lovers)

BBQ Sauce of your choice

Chili (I used 3 cans of Chili, but homemade is better!)

Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Green onions, sliced

Sour Cream

Tortilla and Corn Chips

Start by placing the 2 blocks of Cream Cheese in a Cast Iron pan. Cut slits on the top, and season with your favorite BBQ Rub. Smoke at a low temperature of 160-175 degrees for 1-2 hours, or until the Cream Cheese takes on some smoke. Remove from smoker and crank up the temperature of your smoker to 325 degrees.

Spread the Cream Cheese along the bottom of the Cast Iron Pan. Season again with the BBQ Rub. Next apply a thin layer of shredded Cheese.

Now apply a layer of Chili. Homemade is best, but you can also use the canned Chili. I used 3 cans of Chili. Choose one with or without beans, it is up to you. Now apply a light coating of your favorite BBQ Sauce on top of the Chili.

Finally apply a top layer of Shredded Cheese. Place back in your smoker and cook for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the Cheese is melted and bubbling. Top with Sour Cream and Green Onion, and serve with Tortilla and Corn Chips.
