Helpful tips
I don't worry about totally melting the cream cheese with the mayonnaise because you will be heating it each time you add more ingredients.
I have used different types of cheeses in this dip. My favorites are Mexican cheese and sharp cheddar.
When you serve this dip and you want a pop of color, you can add chopped green onions on top.
If there are any leftovers, you can store this dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Or in the freezer for 2 months.
