Ingredients
1 cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1½ tsp dried dill)
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ cup milk or heavy cream (for thinning, as needed)
Instructions
Combine the base ingredients
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the sour cream, mayonnaise, and cream cheese. Stir constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add flavorings
Stir in the chopped dill, garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix well so the herbs and seasoning are evenly distributed.
Warm gently
Continue heating on low for 5–7 minutes, stirring often. Do not boil—gentle heat keeps the sauce smooth and prevents separation. Add milk or cream a little at a time if you prefer a thinner dipping consistency.
Taste and adjust
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more dill for a stronger herb flavor or an extra pinch of salt to enhance richness.
Serve warm
Transfer to a serving bowl or keep warm in a small slow cooker on the “warm” setting. Serve immediately with your favorite game-day foods.
