Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by carefully draining a jar of mild pepperoncinis, then remove the stems. Pulse the pepperoncinis in a food processor until they reach a relish-like consistency.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and sour cream. Place this mixture over low-medium heat and stir gently until creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Fold in the chopped pepperoncinis into the creamy mixture, stir well, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to develop flavors.
  5. Check the dip consistency. Add reserved liquid gradually if it's too thick.
  6. Serve warm or refrigerate for later, reheating gently before serving.
