For best results, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened so it blends smoothly and doesn’t stay lumpy, and taste the dip before adding extra salt since chipped beef is naturally salty. You can assemble the dip up to a day in advance, cover it tightly, and refrigerate, then add a few extra minutes to the baking time when cooking from cold. If you prefer a stronger flavor, increase the Worcestershire sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper, and for a stretchier texture, swap in part mozzarella for some of the cheddar. Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave, and if the dip seems too thick the next day, stir in a spoonful of sour cream to loosen it before warming.
