Notes

I like to serve this hot creamy dip with tortilla chips but you can serve it with so many things including pretzels, crackers, pita bread, and celery. Those are just a few options, have some fun and be creative with your serving dish.
Don't forget to add a splash of lemon juice and a few dashes of hot sauce before serving.
