Hot Cheese Dip is everything dreams are made of. Super cheesy and creamy with just the right touch of spice makes this a true crowd pleaser. Bonus: it's crazy easy to make!

Holy jalapeño have I got a dip for you. This hot cheese dip is so good it'll make you the most popular person at any party you bring it to. #guaranteed

We've eaten it a few times over the past week and love it more and more each time. Armed with some broccoli and peppers and my two-year-old girl will make a serious dent in this hot cream cheese dip.

Why you'll love this hot cheese dip

  • It's super creamy and light.
  • Just like your fav jalapeño poppers in dip form.
  • 100% no-fuss appetizer recipe.
  • Totally do-ahead-able. Pour the cheese dip into an easy to grab, ovenproof container and bake it whenever you're ready. It also transports really easily so you can bring it to your friend's get together and pop it into the oven when you arrive.
  • This hot cheese dip is vegetarian, gluten-free, and low carb which means that everyone will love it.

This hot cheese dip recipe is as easy as 1-2-3.

  1. Gather your ingredients.
  2. Mix them together until they're smooth then pop them in a baking dish. Don't forget a little extra cheese on top!
  3. Bake.

That's it! Now all you have to do is gather your dippers and dig in.

Speaking of dippers …

Unless you're serving this to a group of low carb/ keto pals, crackers are a must. The crunchy cheesy combo totally wins. My favorite are gluten-free rice crackers cause they're extra crunchy.

But don't forget the veggies! This hot cheese dip goes really well with veggies and you'll be surprised how many times you find yourself reaching for a piece of broccoli or some celery to scoop the cheese.

We all know that veggies covered in cheese sauce are magical. Dipping them in a hot cheese dip is pretty much the same thing only way more fun at a holiday party.
