Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the cream cheese, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese over medium heat.
Stir continuously until the cream cheese and cheddar melt together, forming a smooth mixture.
Add the Parmesan cheese and continue to stir until fully incorporated.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Reduce the heat to low and let the dip simmer for 2-3 minutes while stirring occasionally to thicken.
Remove the saucepan from heat. If you desire a thinner consistency, stir in a small amount of additional milk until the desired texture is reached.
Pour the cheese dip into a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with freshly cut vegetables such as carrots, celery, broccoli, or bell peppers.
