Prep: 10 min · Cook: 25 min · Yield: 8 · Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked beef chili with beans
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 3 scallions
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 bag tortilla chips

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Let the cream cheese soften while you thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate. (about 5 min) — 375°F
2. In a bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, lime juice, cumin, garlic powder, and the white parts of the scallions until mostly smooth. (about 3 min)
3. Fold in the cooked beef chili with beans and 1 cup of the cheddar. Spread the mixture in a 9-inch oven-safe pie dish or small baking dish, then sprinkle with the remaining cheddar. (about 3 min)
4. Bake until the dip is bubbling around the edges, hot throughout, and the center reaches at least 165°F, about 20 to 25 minutes. (about 22 min) — 375°F
5. Rest for 5 minutes, then scatter the green scallion tops over the dip. Serve hot with tortilla chips. (about 5 min)
