This easy Cracker Dip recipe made with cream cheese might be simple, but it’s insanely delicious and perfect for a crowd.

This post is all about how to make Simple Cracker Dip.

This Cracker Dip is so simple to make and incredibly tasty! It’s perfect for a gathering and will quickly become a go-to spread for any holiday party. I found this recipe on Pinterest, which was titled Mom’s Cracker Dip, and it immediately caught my attention. I made a few slight changes from the original, and I think everyone will become obsessed with its creamy, seasoned taste.

The dip’s main component is cream cheese, which is then doctored with garlic and onion powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and lemon juice. The fresh green onions are mandatory and seal the deal for this addictive cracker appetizer.

While the dip tastes great from the beginning, I highly recommend refrigerating it for a few hours—overnight is even better if you can. This gives the ingredients time to marry and intensify with the cream cheese. I served this dip with buttery and crispy Town House crackers, but feel free to use any cracker you wish. Check out the easy recipe steps below and enjoy sharing this creamy spread with the people you love!
