Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 250 g Herb & garlic cream cheese
  • 1 cup Tex Mex shredded cheese
  • 500 ml Homestyle chili
  • 2 Green onions, diced

For Serving

  • 1 Bag Tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine the herb & garlic cream cheese, Tex Mex shredded cheese, and homestyle chili thoroughly until well mixed.
  2. Wrap in Foil: Transfer the mixture into a heavy-duty foil packet, folding the edges securely to prevent leakage.
  3. Cook Over Campfire: Place the foil packet on low heat over the campfire and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  4. Add Garnish: Carefully open the foil packet and sprinkle the diced green onions over the melted cheese mixture for a fresh, crisp flavor.
  5. Serve: Serve the warm chili cheese dip immediately alongside a bag of tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

  • Prepping ingredients at home before your camping trip can simplify cooking and cleanup while outdoors.
  • To avoid foil packet leaks, place them on a baking sheet when cooking or use double wrapping with heavy-duty foil.
  • Store any leftover dip in an airtight container inside a cooler; it reheats well for the next day.
