Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 15 ounces canned chili (with or without beans)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 ounces diced green chilies
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon sour cream (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)
- n/a 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 30 seconds until pliable.
Spread the softened cream cheese evenly on the bottom of a small baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches or a similar size).
Layer the canned chili evenly on top of the cream cheese.
In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture for topping.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture evenly over the chili layer.
Top with diced green chilies and drizzle with hot sauce for extra heat and flavor.
Add the reserved 1/4 cup of cheese mixture on top as the final layer.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
If desired, garnish with sour cream and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
