Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth using a hand mixer or spoon.
Add the canned pumpkin puree, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
In a medium-sized baking dish (about 8x8 inches or similar size), spread the pumpkin mixture evenly as the first layer.
Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the pumpkin mixture, ensuring an even coverage.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese and the sliced green onions on top.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 3 minutes, just enough to soften the cheese and warm the onions.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips or crackers for dipping. Enjoy!
