  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious dip. Don’t worry if you’re missing something; I’ll share some substitutions to keep it stress-free.

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
  • 1 can (4 ounces) diced jalapeños, drained
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

If you don’t have jalapeños, feel free to substitute with fresh chopped green peppers for a milder version. And if parsley isn’t your thing, skip it. This dip is wonderfully adaptable, just like our family dinners always were.

Instructions

Get ready to impress with this simple yet flavorful recipe. Follow these steps, and you’ll have a hit on your hands.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect time to involve your little ones, just like my dad did with me. Get them to help with measuring the ingredients.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chilies, and diced jalapeños. Stir until well combined. It might get a little messy, but that’s part of the fun!
  4. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly. Top with crushed buttery crackers for that irresistible crunch.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.

Remember, cooking is about feeling more than following. If it looks bubbly and golden, you’re on the right track.
