Method

Preparation of Cheese Dip

  1. 1

    Mix the Base Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, minced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Blend Until Smooth

    Using a hand mixer or a spatula, mix all the ingredients together until fully combined and smooth. Ensure there are no lumps of cream cheese.

  3. 3

    Transfer to a Baking Dish

    Pour the cheese mixture into an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cheese Dip

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden on top.

Serving the Cheese Dip

    Serve the cheese dip warm with tortilla chips, sliced vegetables, or bread for dipping.
