Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the chilies, about ¾ of the cheddar cheese, the cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

Pour the mixture into a glass or ceramic baking dish (1½ quart capacity or larger). Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheddar.

Step 4

Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbly and melted. Turn on the broiler for a minute or two to brown the top nicely. Remove and let cool 15 minutes before serving.
