Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Black-eyed peas (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1.5 cups Grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 medium Jalapeño peppers (seeded and finely diced)
- 4 ounces Canned diced green chilies
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoons Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black-eyed peas with a fork or potato masher until slightly chunky. Leave some texture for a heartier dip.
Add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, jalapeños, green chilies, minced garlic, hot sauce, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until fully combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x9-inch baking dish or an oven-safe skillet and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired, and serve warm with tortilla chips, pita bread, or veggie sticks for dipping.
