  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese sharp
  • 1 tsp paprika smoked
  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 piece bell pepper stem for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, smoked paprika, and onion powder until well combined.
