Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Cheese and Spices

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Heat Elements

  • 2 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup chopped jalapeños or pickled peppers (adjust to taste)

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Soften Your Cream Cheese: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften. This makes mixing easier and helps achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
  2. Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and well blended, forming the creamy foundation of the dip.
  3. Add Cheese and Spices: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder to infuse bold flavors and a savory depth to the dip.
  4. Spice It Up: Pour in your favorite hot sauce and finely chopped jalapeños or pickled peppers. Mix thoroughly and adjust the amounts according to your preferred heat level.
  5. Chill for Best Flavor: Cover the dip with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken for ideal consistency.

Notes

  • Always soften cream cheese at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps.
  • Adjust the spice intensity gradually by starting with less hot sauce and jalapeños, adding more to taste.
  • For a brighter, crunchier texture, use fresh jalapeños instead of pickled peppers.
  • Use a hand mixer for a perfectly smooth and fluffy dip.
  • The dip tastes even better when made ahead and left overnight for flavors to fully meld.
