Notes
- Using a hand mixer adds air to the dip and makes it easy to scoop.
- Cream cheese can be softened in the microwave. Remove the foil wrapper and place it in a bowl. Microwave at 60% power for 30-40 seconds. Check if it's soft and if not, add another 15 seconds.
- Use any type of salsa from mild to hot, or homemade salsa work in this recipe.
- This recipe lends itself well to mix-ins from jalapenos, black olives, diced tomatoes, red onions, or cilantro.
- To Serve as a Hot Dip
- Combine all ingredients except the shredded cheese in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat stirring until smooth and melted. Add the shredded cheese and cook just until softened.
