Some nights you just need dinner to happen with zero drama.

This is that recipe.

Canned chili gets stirred together with sharp cheddar cheese spread and a dollop of sour cream until everything melts into a thick, creamy, spiced sauce.

Ladle it over hot rice and you’ve got a filling, warming bowl that tastes way better than five ingredients have any right to.

Garnish with red bell pepper slices or tomato for a pop of color if you’re feeling fancy.

Kitchen Tips

  • Use your favorite canned chili here, with or without beans depending on your preference
  • Stir constantly over low heat so the cheese melts smoothly without scorching
  • Leftover sauce reheats well the next day and actually gets more flavorful overnight
