Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cheese: Use a cheese that melts well and has a bold flavor, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper Jack.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your chili cheese log the best flavor. If possible, use fresh chilies, onions, and garlic.
  • Don't Overcook the Chili: The chili should be cooked until it is heated through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chili will be dry and tough.
  • Chill the Log Before Serving: Chilling the log before serving will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve with Crackers or Veggies: Serve the chili cheese log with crackers or vegetables, such as celery, carrots, or bell peppers.
