Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Bake:

    • Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and lightly browned on top.
  4. Garnish and Serve:

    • Serve hot with unsalted or lightly salted corn chips, crackers, or toasted bread slices.

Notes

  • Variations: For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or finely chopped jalapeños to the mixture.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven until warmed through before serving.
