For the Spread

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the room temperature cream cheese in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula to beat the cream cheese until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Next, add the tamed jalapeños, roasted red peppers, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients together until they are well integrated, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Once chilled, take out your Cowboy Cream Cheese Spread and give it a gentle stir. Serve it in a rustic bowl alongside an assortment of cornbread, crackers, pretzels, or veggie sticks.
