Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Pepper jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes with green chilies (canned, drained)
- 2 Fire-roasted jalapeños, diced
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Hot sauce
- 3 Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 bag/optional Tortilla chips or fresh veggies, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, and sour cream until well blended.
Fold in the diced tomatoes with green chilies, fire-roasted jalapeños, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and hot sauce. Stir until evenly combined.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.
Switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to lightly brown the top, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies. Enjoy the fiery and cheesy goodness!
