Ingredients

Scale
  1. 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

  2. 4 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded

  3. ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  4. 1 teaspoon onion flakes

  5. ½ teaspoon salt

  6. 7 ounces pepper jelly


Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion flakes, and salt until well combined.

  • Spread the cheese mixture into an oven-safe dish or pie pan, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.

  • Bake for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and hot.

  • While the dip is baking, microwave the pepper jelly in a microwave-safe container for 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.

  • Once the cheese dip is baked to perfection, pour the melted pepper jelly over the top and spread it evenly for a deliciously spicy finish.

 

  • Serve with your favorite crackers, tortilla chips, or vegetable sticks for dipping.


Notes

  • You can use mild or hot pepper jelly depending on your preference for spiciness.

  • For a creamier texture, you can add a bit of sour cream to the cheese mixture before baking.

 

  • This dip can also be served cold if preferred, although it’s usually served warm for the best texture
