Notes
This can be assembled up to 8 hours before you plan to serve it. Keep it covered in the fridge, then uncover and bake as directed. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the cook time to compensate for starting with a cold dip.
Skip the bags of pre-shredded cheese at the grocery store and grate your own. The store bought shredded cheese often contains preservatives and anti caking agents and does not melt as smoothly.
