Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400° F and get ready to make this dip disappear!
Soften the cream cheese: Place the block of cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 20-30 seconds until it’s softened and easy to mix. Mix the creamy base: Add the sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder to the softened cream cheese. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. This is the base of your dip, and it’s going to be good.
Assemble the dip: Spread the creamy cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan or similar oven-safe dish.
Top with chili: Open the can of chili (make sure it's the no-bean variety for the best texture), and spread it evenly over the creamy layer.
Add the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the chili. This is where the magic happens—pepperjack cheese adds just the right amount of spice, but feel free to use your favorite cheese!
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with diced green onions for a burst of color and flavor. Serve hot with tortilla chips, veggies, or crackers.
