Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). Next, in a large mixing bowl, I combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise, using a whisk until it’s a smooth and creamy mixture – oh, the texture is already divine! Then, I mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. This step is so essential for ramping up the flavor. As I mix, I can already smell the deliciousness coming together.
