# Instructions:
01 -
First things first, crank that oven up to 350°F (175°C). As it preheats, I can almost smell the cheesy goodness already and it makes me giddy with excitement! This is also where I usually forget to set the timer, so keep an eye on it!
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheeses. You want it to be creamy and well-blended. Get in there with a spatula—no one wants clumps! This is where I always accidentally fling some cheese out of the bowl. Oops!
03 -
Now, fold in those glorious Hatch chiles. I usually get a little too excited and dump them all in at once. Just make sure you mix gently so you don’t lose all that creamy goodness. The smell is heavenly at this point!
04 -
Add in garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and pepper. I always taste it at this stage to see if it needs more seasoning. Just don’t get too carried away like I did once—yikes! This is the time to adjust flavors according to your preference, so taste, taste, taste!
05 -
Spread the mixture into a baking dish and top with the remaining shredded cheese. Seriously, can you ever have too much cheese? I think not! Bake it for about 20-25 minutes until it’s bubbly and golden. Keep an eye on it, as sometimes my cheese gets a little too brown.
06 -
Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Then dive in with your favorite tortilla chips or veggies! I love to serve it with extra chiles on the side for those spice enthusiasts. The smell is out of this world—like a warm embrace from your kitchen!
