Notes
- Soften the cream cheese. This is probably the most important tip. Softening the cream cheese helps everything to be smooth and no lumps.
- Don't use pre-shredded cheese. Shredded a block of cheese will give you the best taste and the cheese will melt better. If you are in a pinch you can use pre-shredded cheese but I recommend trying to shred your own.
- Double the recipe. If you are serving this dip to a larger crowd, you can easily double the recipe.
