Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional add-ins: diced jalapeños, chopped green onions, cooked bacon bits, or a dash of hot sauce
Instructions
1. Make the creamy base
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
2. Add flavor
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Add the cheese
Fold in most of the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving a small handful for topping.
4. Bake until bubbly
Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake for 20–25 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
5. Serve and enjoy
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with crackers, tortilla chips, or toasted bread slices.
✨ Tip: For true retro flair, serve straight from the baking dish with buttery crackers—and don’t be surprised when it’s gone in minutes!
