Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze. Reheat in the microwave in 20-second increments or bake at 350°F for 5–10 minutes, until heated through. Prepare up to a day in advance by mixing the dip and adding it to a greased baking dish. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, add about 5 extra minutes to the baking time to account for the chilled dip.
