Ingredients
To make this cheesy Hatch green chili dip, you’ll need:
- Cream Cheese – 8 ounces, softened
- Sour Cream – ½ cup
- Mayonnaise – ¼ cup
- Hatch Green Chiles – 1 cup, roasted, peeled, and diced (or use canned for convenience)
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese – 1 cup
- Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese – 1 cup
- Garlic Powder – 1 teaspoon
- Onion Powder – 1 teaspoon
- Salt – ½ teaspoon
- Cayenne Pepper – ¼ teaspoon (optional, for extra heat)
- Green Onions – 2, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- Tortilla Chips or Crackers – for serving
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a small baking dish.
2. Combine the Base Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the Flavours
Stir in the diced Hatch green chilies, shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix until well combined.
4. Transfer to Baking Dish
Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on top for a golden, bubbly finish.
5. Bake the Dip
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
6. Garnish and Serve
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Tips for Success
- Use Fresh Hatch Chiles: If possible, roast and peel fresh Hatch green chilies for the best flavour.
- Adjust the Heat: Add more cayenne pepper or use hot Hatch chilies for a spicier dip.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the dip up to a day in advance and bake it just before serving.
