Servings: 10 Servings
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded white sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ cup green onions finely chopped
Optional coating
- ½ cup additional chopped green onions
- ½ cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes. Add the shredded cheddar, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, and mix until well combined. Stir in the chopped green onions until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the mixture into a shallow serving dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm slightly.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the top evenly with chopped green onions and pecans.
- Remove the dip from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
- Serve with crackers, pretzels, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables such as celery and bell peppers.
