  • Author: cooktrove

  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

Cowboy Cream Cheese is a rich and creamy dip that combines savory and zesty flavors, making it the perfect crowd-pleaser for any gathering. Enjoy it with crackers, veggies, or as a filling for wraps!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup beef jerky, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped (reserve a few for garnish)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup non-alcoholic BBQ sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese: Start by allowing the cream cheese to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This makes it easier to mix.
  2. Chop the Beef Jerky: While the cream cheese softens, chop the beef jerky into small, bite-sized pieces. This ensures every scoop of the dip has a bit of that savory flavor.
  3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped beef jerky, green onions (reserve a few for garnish), shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and BBQ sauce. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to mix until everything is well combined.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Give your mixture a taste. If you want more flavor, add a pinch of salt or more spices according to your preference.
  5. Chill: Once everything is mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Chilling allows the flavors to meld beautifully!
  6. Serve: When you’re ready to serve, transfer the Cowboy Cream Cheese to a serving bowl, sprinkle the reserved green onions on top, and enjoy with your favorite dippers like crackers, veggies, or chips.
