What Makes This Dip Actually Work

Here are the first three steps to get you started:

Ways To Make It Your Own

The base recipe is just the starting point:

  • Spice it up with diced jalapenos or a splash of hot sauce

  • Load it out with seasoned ground beef for a heartier scoop

  • Swap in pepper jack or a Mexican cheese blend for a different melt
