Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced roasted Hatch green chiles (fresh or canned)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (Monterey Jack, cheddar, or pepper jack blend)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Seasonings and Extras

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Chopped green onions or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the dip to achieve a melty cheese texture.
  2. Mix Your Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream, blending until smooth using a hand mixer or whisk. Fold in the shredded cheese and diced Hatch green chiles, then add garlic powder and onion powder. Stir everything until evenly mixed.
  3. Season: Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, drizzle in olive oil for extra flavor and stir to distribute seasoning evenly.
  4. Baking Time: Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown, watching to avoid overcooking.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Let the dip cool for a few minutes after baking. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired. Serve warm with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a nacho topping.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of Hatch green chiles to control the heat level.
  • Use a cheese blend to add complexity and flavor.
  • Allow the dip to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns.
  • Olive oil is optional but adds a nice richness to the dip.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
