Notes

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.
