2 cans 15 oz chili (with or without beans) Homemade or canned both work.
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Add extra cheese on top for more gooeyness.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili.

Baking

Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
