Appetizers are our favorites! Sometimes I make this Jalapeno Crab Dip for dinner – it’s perfectly served with crackers or toast.

Ingredients
Crock Pot Dip: For the dip base, use two cans of chili, a container of sour cream, and a package of sharp cheddar (no Velveeta in this dip!)
Toppings Layer: Top this delicious dip with sliced jalapenos, green onions, tomatoes, and black olives.
How to Make Slow Cooker 7-Layer Chili Cheese Dip
STEP ONE: Spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray. Spread the chili as the first layer, add the sour cream as the second, then the shredded cheddar as the third. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours.
STEP TWO: Top the warm crock pot layers with olives, jalapenos, tomatoes, and green onions. Serve with Fritos Scoops, and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Use Roma tomatoes! They are less juicy than most tomatoes, making them the perfect dip topper!
- Before layering, stir the sour cream well, then spoon it in dollops all over the chili layer. Now you can use a spatula to smooth out this layer quickly.
How long can I keep chili cheese dip leftovers?
If you have any leftovers (which rarely happens!), transfer them to an airtight container. They’ll be good in the fridge for another 4-5 days. Freezing isn’t recommended for this dip.
Can I substitute other ingredients?
Of course! I love this recipe as it is, but you can easily alter the cheddar for pepper Jack, the sour cream for cream cheese, or the green onions for finely sliced Vidalia onions. Or omit one of the toppings and have a 6-layer dip!
