Description
A creamy, cheesy dip with a kick of spice, perfect for parties and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch dressing mix
- 1 (1 ounce) package dry Italian dressing mix
- 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies (undrained)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños (chopped, adjust based on your spice preference)
- Crackers (for serving)
Instructions
- Begin by ensuring your cream cheese is softened. If necessary, microwave in 15-second intervals until softened, stirring to avoid melting.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise together with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add the dry ranch dressing mix and dry Italian dressing mix, mixing until they are fully integrated.
- Fold in the undrained chopped green chilies, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese until well incorporated.
- Add the chopped green onions and pickled jalapeños. Adjust the amount of jalapeños to cater to your taste. Mix everything until combined.
- Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 120 minutes, or better yet, overnight for the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Before serving, give it a good stir to revitalize the blend and transfer it to your favorite serving bowl.
Notes
Serve chilled with a variety of crackers, fresh veggies, or tortilla chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
