Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup tamed jalapeños, drained and chopped
  • 1/3 cup roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese and mayonnaise together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add seasonings: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly throughout the base.
  3. Incorporate peppers and cheese: Fold in the chopped tamed jalapeños and roasted red peppers, along with the shredded white cheddar cheese. Stir gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Chill the dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly for better serving consistency.
  5. Serve: Once chilled, serve the Texas Christmas Dip with an assortment of crackers, pretzels, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • Adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your preferred level of spice.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and mayo with plant-based alternatives.
  • This dip can be made a day ahead to enhance the flavors.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
