This easy stovetop Vegan Chili Cheese Dip with salsa is perfect for a party. It is rich and satisfying! Serve with tortilla chips.
This Vegan Chili Cheese Dip was inspired by my 3 Ingredient Vegan Chili. That recipe has been such a bit hit that I thought I'd make it into a dip.
For this vegan cheese dip I used vegan cream cheese, vegan cheddar, and vegan crumbles. The result is a rich and slightly spicy dip that is so hearty it could be eaten as a meal.
This chili dip takes minutes to make, so it's perfect for a weeknight meal or party appetizer.
Instructions
Cook onions in olive oil on medium heat until they are translucent. Add garlic and cook about 30 seconds longer. Add vegan crumbles and cook for a minute to heat them through if you're taking them straight from the freezer.
Add vegan cheddar, vegan cream cheese, salsa, and spices. Cook until vegan cheese is melted.
Serving
I did a few of these to switch things up.
- With tortilla chips (of course)
- In a quesadilla
- On loaded vegan nachos with black beans, guacamole, or whatever your favorites are
- On a baked potato
- In tacos
- In a burrito
Storage
Vegan Chili Cheese Dip lasts about 5-6 days in the fridge.

Vegan Chili Cheese Dip can be reheated on the stove or in the microwave.

A vegan diet shouldn t prevent you from enjoying gooey, velvety cheese and chorizo. This vegan chili cheese dip tastes pretty damn close to the real deal and will keep even your non-vegan friends coming back for more. Pass the tortilla chips.

While I love a good vegan cheese dip as much as the next person, what makes chili cheese dip extra special is that you get so much STUFF in every bite.
