Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 15 oz canned chili (with or without beans)
- 4 oz diced green chilies
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp chili powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 bag tortilla chips (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, soften the cream cheese by microwaving it for about 20-30 seconds. This will make it easier to mix.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, canned chili, diced green chilies, sour cream, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Step 4
Fold in 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving the remaining 0.5 cup for topping.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches or similar). Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Sprinkle the reserved 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture.
Step 7
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Carefully remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Optionally, garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm with tortilla chips on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
