Ingredients

Cheese Dip Ingredients

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Use freshly shredded for the best melt.
8 oz cream cheese
½ cup sour cream
½ cup milk Optional, for thinning.
½ cup chopped green chilies or jalapeños Use jalapeños for a spicier dip.
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Green food coloring (optional) For a more fun appearance.
Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

Preparation

Start by taking a small saucepan and putting it over low heat. Add the cream cheese and sour cream to the pan.
If you're using milk to thin it out, go ahead and add that too. Stir it gently until everything melts together and becomes smooth.
Once the cream cheese and sour cream mixture is smooth, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Keep stirring until all the cheese melts and the dip looks glossy and creamy.
Next, add the chopped green chilies (or jalapeños for a spicier kick).
Then sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
If your dip seems too thick, you can pour in a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
If you want to make the dip look even more fun, add a few drops of green food coloring and stir it in well.
Transfer your cheesy mixture to a small serving cauldron or heatproof dish. Keep it warm until you're ready to serve.

Serving

Serve the bubbling cheese dip warm with tortilla chips for dipping.
You can set up a snack station with extra toppings like chopped green onions or diced tomatoes for personalization.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove with a little milk if needed. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
