Aunt Betty’s Homestyle Triscuit Dip
Aunt Betty’s Homestyle Triscuit Dip
This creamy, cheesy dip is a simple appetizer that comes together without any cooking. Smooth cream cheese and tangy sour cream create a rich base, while cheddar, tomatoes, green onions, and jalapeños add plenty of flavor and texture. A blend of garlic, onion, and paprika rounds everything out. After a short chill in the refrigerator, the flavors meld together into a delicious dip that pairs perfectly with crisp crackers.

Directions
Step 1: Make the Creamy Mixture
Add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheddar to a large bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and the cheese is evenly incorporated.
Step 2: Mix in the Vegetables
Fold in the diced tomatoes, green onions, and jalapeños. Stir gently until the vegetables are distributed throughout the creamy mixture.
Step 3: Season
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly so the seasonings are evenly dispersed. Taste and add additional seasoning if desired.
Step 4: Chill the Dip
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This gives the ingredients time to blend and allows the flavors to become more pronounced.
Step 5: Serve
Stir the chilled dip briefly before transferring it to a serving bowl. Serve cold alongside Triscuit crackers or your favorite crunchy dippers.
