Preparation

  • Drain the can of diced tomatoes and green chilies to prevent the dip from becoming too watery.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, add the cream cheese and heat over low to medium until it begins to soften, stirring consistently to prevent sticking.
  • Once smooth, stir in the drained tomatoes and green chilies.
  • Add the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, mixing until melted.
  • Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  • Let the dip simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and top with chopped green onions before serving warm.

Notes

To elevate flavors, consider using full-fat cream cheese and adding jalapeños or hot sauce for spiciness. Slow cooking can help meld flavors if serving a larger crowd. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
