Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 15 oz canned chili (with or without beans)
- 4 oz diced green chilies
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp chili powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 bag tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a microwave-safe bowl, soften the cream cheese by microwaving it for about 20-30 seconds. This will make it easier to mix.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, canned chili, diced green chilies, sour cream, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Fold in 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving the remaining 0.5 cup for topping.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches or similar). Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Optionally, garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
