Instructions
- Start by softening that cream cheese. If it’s straight from the fridge, pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to get it all smooth.
- Mix the softened cream cheese with your half cup of sour cream until you see a nice, smooth blend. This is your creamy base that holds everything together.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese next. This is where your dish begins getting all cheesy and rich.
- Sprinkle in the garlic powder and black pepper. Mix these seasonings well so every bite has a little pop of flavor.
- Fold in the chopped green onions and diced roasted red peppers. Chill mixture for at least 30 minutes. Serve with crackers or crostini for dipping.
