Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced roasted Hatch green chiles (fresh or canned)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (blend of Monterey Jack, cheddar, or pepper jack)
  • 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. This step ensures your dip will melt evenly and develop a golden bubbly top.
  2. Mix Your Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth. Next, fold in the shredded cheese and diced Hatch green chiles, adjusting chile quantity to your preferred heat level. Add garlic powder and onion powder, stirring until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  3. Season: Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste. Optionally, drizzle in olive oil for an extra layer of flavor and give the mixture one final stir to distribute seasonings evenly.
  4. Baking Time: Transfer the dip evenly into a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close watch near the end to avoid overcooking.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Allow the dip to cool for a few minutes after removing from the oven since it will be very hot. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired. Serve warm with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a nacho topping.

Notes

  • This dip can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • You can substitute canned Hatch chiles if fresh are unavailable, draining them well.
  • For extra spice, add chopped jalapeños or use pepper jack cheese exclusively.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the mixture before baking.
