Smoky & Spicy Baked Cream Cheese Dip

February 21, 2020 by Chelsea Kram – XO&So: Vegetarian Comfort Food Leave a Comment

baked cream cheese dip

My spicy cream cheese dip gets its kick from jalapenos, but combined with tomato, onion, liquid smoke, white cheddar, mayo, and sour cream...chef's kiss!!! You bake it all together and get this creamy, spicy dip that’s perfect for servings at parties. It also takes less than 10 minutes to get it ready for the oven. 

The day I made this cream cheese dip, I had to post the recipe on Instagram RIGHT AWAY. I was too excited to wait and get it up on here first. I was that excited about it. Sorry — they got it first! But it's here now and you're going to LOVE it. 

Spicy baked cream cheese dip

On top of being ooey, gooey, spicy, and delicious, this is such an easy recipe! And it makes a big batch of dip so it's ideal for bringing to parties or serving a crowd.

You can have all the ingredients prepped and into the oven within ten minutes, then it takes about half an hour to bake. So, feel free to prepare it at home, bring it with you, and bake it at your destination.

What to serve with this spicy cream cheese dip

I really like dipping something crunchy into baked cheese dips...You know, crackers, chips, etc. It's also really good spread on bread, or stuffed into pita shells!

You can also get your dose of veggies by dipping cucumbers, carrots, or your other favorite fresh foods into it. 

My other favorite cheesy dip

My baked goat cheese dip was my first recipe to go "viral" with more than a million views. It's another favorite party appetizer and I highly recommend you give it a try, too! 

Other notes

  • You can put this cream cheese dip together at home, bring it with you to your destination and bake it there
  • To make ahead of time, combine all ingredients and refrigerate. The next day, or when you're ready to bake it, let it come to room temperature for a bit before you bake it to help it cook evenly.
  • This dip also tastes GREAT cold the next day. 
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of jalapenos you use depending on how spicy or mild you want it. 
  • It will still taste great without liquid smoke, but it won't have that smoky, almost bacon-like taste without it.
