A creamy and spicy dip perfect for gatherings or game day.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a bubbly top.
In a saucepan, combine the cream cheese, lime juice, barbecue sauce, red pepper flakes, ground cumin, and onion powder.
Stir continuously to prevent sticking.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until smooth and well combined.
Use a whisk for a smoother consistency.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Spread the cheese evenly for a uniform melt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the oven to avoid over-browning.
Serve warm with your choice of dippers like tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.
Garnish with chopped parsley for added color.
