Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Dip is super easy to make. It is a recipe you mix and bake in the oven. It is ready to serve when it comes out of the oven.
Cheesy chicken enchilada dip made with cream cheese, sour cream, green chiles, cheddar cheese, seasonings, and enchilada sauce.
We are a family that likes our dips. Whether it is a dip for veggies or chips it doesn’t matter we love them. When the kids come home for a visit I usually make some dip for a snack when playing cards or games.
Helpful Tips
- The cream cheese should be at room temperature. It will help with combining it with the other ingredients
- Make sure to mix all the ingredients so that they are well combined. This will ensure that the dip will bake evenly.
- I like to make this dip in a 10-inch cast iron skillet. If you don’t have a skillet, you can use a 10 by 13-inch baking pan or a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
- This dip can be reheated in the oven that is preheated to 350 degrees F or reheat in the microwave to the desired temperature.
