3 Ingredient Chili Cheese Dip Ingredients
These are the ingredients in the dip.

Is Canned Chili Gluten Free
All canned chili is not gluten free. It is important to read the labels ingredients on every can before each purchase. In addition to reading the label carefully, look for words on the label such as “gluten free”.
For example, the Hormel Brand canned chili has varieties that do and do not contain gluten. Hormel Chili with no beans contains wheat protein but, Hormel Chili Chunky Beef No Beans doesn’t list any ingredients on the label that contain gluten.
Brands change their recipes from time to time just as home cooks do. Read package labeling each time you purchase a product that is not clearly marked gluten free.
Gluten Free Canned Chili Options
Here are some canned chili options that are gluten free.
- Hormel No Bean Chunky Chili, 15 oz.
- Stagg Classic Chili with Beans, 15 oz.
- Amy’s Chili with Vegetables, Vegan, USDA Organic, 14.7 oz.
Recipe Tips
Canned Chili – Use your favorite canned chili. Beans or no beans, it will all be good.
