Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion flakes
½ teaspoon salt
7 ounces pepper jelly
Directions:
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Make the Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion flakes, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Bake the Dip: Transfer the cheese mixture into an oven-safe dish or pie pan, smoothing the surface. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Melt the Pepper Jelly: While the dip bakes, melt the pepper jelly in a microwave-safe container. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.
Top with Jelly: After baking, pour the melted pepper jelly over the hot cheese dip, spreading it evenly across the top.
Serve: Serve the dip warm with crackers, chips, or sliced bread.
