Equipment

  • 1 small 8 or 10-inch oven-safe skillet or 2-quart baking dish

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1 ¼ cups sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 (4-ounce) can drained diced green chiles choose your desired heat level
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic about 1 clove of garlic
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 2-quart baking dish, or an 8 or 10-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Add 8 ounces softened cream cheese to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl halfway through to ensure everything is combined and there are no lumps of cream cheese remaining.
  • Add 1 ¼ cups sour cream to the cream cheese and mix with the hand mixer until combined.
  • Add the 2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese, 1 (4-ounce) can drained diced green chiles, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
  • Transfer to the prepared skillet and smooth over the top. Sprinkle on additional cheddar cheese on top, if desired.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the top is browning and the edges of the dip are bubbling. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, sliced baguettes, or fresh vegetables.
