Green Chili Dip Ingredients
- cheese: Chop the cheese finely for the smoothest melt and avoid the harsh finish that pre-shredded blends can bring.
- Chile: Hatch chili is a green chile grown in Hatch, New Mexico that has a smokier, slightly buttery flavor. It’s great to have on hand, but any green pepper will work for this recipe.
- cream cheese: Let sit at room temperature for about 2 hours, or microwave the chopped pieces for 15 to 20 seconds to soften.
- cream exchange: Plain Greek yogurt works beautifully in place of sour cream.
- heat: Choose mild, medium, or hot peppers depending on how spicy you want your dip.
How to Make Creamy Green Chili Dip
Making green pepper dip is great for an after school snack, holiday party, or game day appetizer. If you like hot dips, try the Chicken Alfredo Dip or Cheesy Garlic Bread Dip. They all use simple ingredients but taste great!
- Preparation and mixing: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish or 8-inch ovenproof skillet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Place the cream cheese in a large bowl and mix with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Make sure everything is combined and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl halfway through to ensure no lumps remain. Add sour cream to the cream cheese and mix with a hand mixer until well combined.
- Combine: Add cheddar cheese, chopped green peppers, garlic, cumin, onion powder, salt, and pepper and mix until well combined.
- baking: Transfer to prepared skillet and smooth top. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is browned and the edges of the dip are bubbly. Serve immediately!
