Notes
- Make Ahead: This dip is great for prepping ahead. Make it up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate. The flavors meld together beautifully overnight.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before serving again to refresh the texture.
- Cheese Tip: For the best texture and flavor, shred your own sharp cheddar from a block. Pre-shredded cheese can make the dip less creamy.
- Extra Toppings: To make it visually appealing, sprinkle a bit of extra bacon, shredded cheese, or even sliced green onions on top before serving.
- Serving Ideas: This dip pairs well with chips, crackers, fresh veggies, or even as a spread on sandwiches or burgers for added flavor.
