Notes
Recipe copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
- Cream Cheese: Make sure you let your cream cheese soften to room temperature. It will make it much easier to mix, spread and dip.
- Salsa: Use any brand or heat level you prefer. You could also use homemade salsa!
- Shredded Cheese: You can use pre shredded or grate it yourself. If you want to serve the dish hot, I recommend grating your own. Bagged cheese is coated to prevent it from sticking together, but when it melts it doesn’t always melt beautifully together. If you want it to melt, grate your own. I love this dip with cheddar cheese but you can definitely mix it up if you want to try a different flavor. It would be delicious with some colby jack or pepper jack.
- Garnish with: Green onions, jalapenos, onion, or none at all!
