Notes
Storage:
To Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
To Freeze: This dip doesn’t freeze well as the dairy separates after freezing and reheating.
To Reheat: You can reheat this dip in the microwave until heated through.
Tips:
Make sure your block of cream cheese has softened to room temperature before mixing so it’s easier to spread.
To save time, you can use bagged shredded cheese for this recipe; it works just as well.
This dip is best served warm and fresh from the oven.
