- Using softened cream cheese ensures that the base layer spreads easily and blends well with the chili.
- For best flavor, use authentic Skyline chili, but any Cincinnati-style chili can work as a substitute.
- Adjust the amount of cheese to your liking for a cheesier or lighter topping.
- This dip pairs wonderfully with Fritos scoops, tortilla chips, or even fresh vegetables for dipping.
