Notes

For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. To enhance the flavor, consider using a mix of cheeses such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack along with cheddar. This dip can also be made ahead of time and reheated before serving, making it a convenient option for parties and gatherings.
