Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 0.25 cups diced jalapeños (fresh or jarred)
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the cream cheese in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently to soften and melt the cream cheese.
Step 2
Once the cream cheese is smooth, add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and stir until it begins to melt.
Step 3
Mix in the sour cream, diced jalapeños, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
If the dip is too thick, add the milk one tablespoon at a time, stirring well after each addition, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and let the dip cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more jalapeños or hot sauce for extra spice, if desired.
Step 7
Transfer the hot dip to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro if using.
Step 8
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, raw veggies, or crackers, and enjoy!
