The complete dip can be prepared and refrigerated until ready to bake. The jalapeno is only optional, I like to add it into the cream cheese. The success of this dip will depend on the quality of chili you use so make certain to use a good-quality canned chili or use homemade, for extra heat use extra spicy chili.

Vegans:  Substitute in your own favorite canned Vegan chili or one you’ve created from scratch.  Add in  your favorite gluten-free chips on the side.  And, for excellent Vegan nut cheeses that really bring you home, check out Miyoko Schinner’s Miyoko’s Kitchen to order your favorite cheesy tastes.
