Description

A creamy and spicy jalapeno cream cheese dip perfect for game day gatherings and parties.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup diced jalapenos
  • ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup diced green onion
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, diced jalapenos, diced red bell pepper, diced green onion, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix gently to combine.
  3. Using a spatula or electric mixer on low, mix until creamy but still textured, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with extra diced jalapenos and green onion.

Notes

For best texture, allow cream cheese and mayonnaise to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing. Can be prepared a day in advance for flavor development.
