Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Gather all ingredients for the dip. Bring cream cheese to room temperature for easy mixing. Drain excess liquid from crushed pineapple and chop diced ham if needed.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, diced ham, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, well-drained crushed pineapple, and sliced green onions. Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley.
  3. Mix until the dip reaches a creamy and smooth consistency, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
  5. After chilling, stir the dip and serve in a bowl, garnished with additional green onions or parsley. Pair with an assortment of crackers, pita chips, or fresh vegetables.
  6. If you have leftovers, transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
