Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz sour cream
- 1 cup shredded smoked brisket, cooked
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 4 jalapenos, seeded and minced (use more or less depending on heat preference)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or a small oven-safe skillet.
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until the base is smooth.
- Fold in the shredded smoked brisket, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, minced jalapenos, green onions, cilantro, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the dip.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the topping is golden brown.
- Let the dip rest for 5 minutes before serving warm with your favorite dippers.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use only cream cheese and sour cream, omitting the mayonnaise.
- If you prefer less heat, remove all seeds and white membranes from the jalapenos before mincing.
- If you do not have smoked brisket, you can substitute with cooked, shredded pulled pork or shredded rotisserie chicken, adding 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke to the mixture for flavor.
- Serve this dip with tortilla chips, sturdy crackers, celery sticks, or toasted baguette slices.
