Print Recipe

A creamy, smoky, and tangy dip featuring roasted red peppers, perfect for lake days, picnics, and casual gatherings. Quick and easy to prepare with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
  • ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 cup (about 150 g) roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (about 100 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Let the cream cheese sit out at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften.
  2. Drain and roughly chop the roasted red peppers into small pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Alternatively, mix by hand with a sturdy spatula.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, sliced green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika until evenly distributed.
  5. Fold in the chopped roasted red peppers and shredded sharp cheddar cheese gently to keep texture.
  6. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, starting with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, adjusting to taste.
  7. Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and texture firm up.
  8. Before serving, let the dip sit out for about 10 minutes to soften for optimal creaminess.

Notes

Use jarred fire-roasted peppers for best smoky flavor and convenience. Let cream cheese and sour cream soften at room temperature for smooth mixing. Adjust seasoning before chilling. For a chunkier texture, pulse peppers in a food processor but do not puree. Can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
