Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese and sour cream.

Add half of the shredded mozzarella cheese to the bowl, reserving the other half for topping.

Add a little bit of sharp cheddar cheese to the bowl.

Stir in diced green chiles, garlic powder, and a touch of salt.

Add a few dashes of hot sauce to the mixture, if desired.

Mash everything together until well mixed, but it doesn't need to be perfect.

Transfer the mixture into a small baking dish, spreading it relatively flat.

Top the mixture with the reserved mozzarella cheese for a browned crust.

Bake in the preheated oven until warm, bubbly, and melted.

If the top isn't browning, turn on the broiler for a few minutes to achieve browning, keeping a close eye on it.
