Ingredients
  

For the dip:
  • 4 oz 115g diced green chiles (Hatch preferred, any heat level)
  • 8 oz 225g cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded
  • cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • teaspoon salt
  • 3 dashes hot sauce to taste
For topping:
  • ¾ cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded

Method
 

  1. Get your oven going at 350°F (175°C).
  2. Chuck all the dip ingredients (except the topping cheese) in a bowl and mix it up till combined.
  3. Spread it out in a small baking dish. Scatter the remaining cheese over the top.
  4. Bake for about 15 minutes till the cheese is melted and bubbling round the edges.
  5. If the top's not browned enough, stick it under the grill for a minute (watch it close though).
  6. Serve hot with chips, veggie sticks, or whatever you fancy for dunking!

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese first – way easier to mix.
  • Or don't mix at all – throw everything in the dish and stir as it melts.
  • Pick your heat level – mild's safest for crowds.
  • Frozen chiles work fine – if you can't get fresh.
  • Slow cooker keeps it warm – brilliant for parties.
  • Make it thicker – less sour cream, more cheese.
  • Add meat – chorizo or chicken makes it heartier.
  • Microwave option – no browned top but still good.
  • Prep ahead – mix and chill, bake when ready.
  • Leftovers keep 3-4 days – reheat gently.
