I grew up learning the ins and outs of the kitchen from my grandparents and my mama — they taught me that a good meal can bring people together like nothing else. Now, I’m proud to carry on their passion and share those same comforting flavors with y’all.

Ingredients & Tools You'll Need

Let’s gather our ingredients so we can get this party started. You’ll need a block of softened cream cheese – it’s the base that brings everything together. Then, grab a cup of sour cream for extra creaminess and a cup of BBQ sauce to add that smoky flavor we all crave.

A little hot sauce gives it a kick, and of course, we need a pound of pulled pork to make this dip truly shine.

Now, don’t forget the cheese! I like to use two cups of shredded Colby jack cheese along with 16 ounces of Gordo's Original Queso or two cups of pepper jack for that ooey-gooey texture. You’ll also want a 9×13 pan for baking.

Trust me, you won’t regret having a little extra cheese in there!

How To Make It

Getting this dip ready is as easy as pie, and I’m here to guide you through it. We’ll start by mixing up our ingredients and then baking them to cheesy perfection. You might want to have your favorite chips ready because once this dip is done, you’ll want to dive right in.

Preparation

First things first, preheat your oven to 350°. Now, let’s grab a mixing bowl. Toss in the softened cream cheese, sour cream, BBQ sauce, and hot sauce.

An electric mixer works wonders here, making sure everything gets mixed up nice and smooth. You want to see a creamy consistency where all those flavors are blended perfectly.

Once that’s done, fold in the pulled pork and one cup of the shredded Colby jack cheese along with the Gordo's. This is where the magic happens – you’ll see the mixture become thick and hearty. Pour everything into your 9×13 pan and top it off with the rest of the cheese.

Cooking

Place that pan in the oven and let the heat work its magic. Bake it for about 45 minutes, but keep an eye on it. You want to see the cheese melting and bubbling, with edges turning a lovely golden brown.

The aroma wafting through your kitchen will have everyone asking what’s cooking!

When it’s ready, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dip is best enjoyed warm and gooey, with all that cheesy goodness waiting for you. You’ll want to dig in right away, but trust me, letting it cool just a tad makes it easier to scoop.

Serving & Variations

Now comes the fun part – serving and enjoying! This dip is fantastic with tortilla chips, but you can also use crackers or fresh veggies if you want to balance it out a bit. A common consensus among home cooks is that adding a sprinkle of green onions or crispy bacon on top before serving can take this dip to the next level.

If you’re looking to switch it up, try using different types of cheese or adding a bit of diced jalapeños for an extra kick. You can even make this dip ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just pop it in the oven when you’re ready to serve, and you’re all set!
