Notes

Cream Cheese: Don't forget to bring the cream cheese to room temperature before starting the recipe! Cold cream cheese is a nightmare to try to mix with other ingredients. Don't microwave the cream cheese if you do forget, though. Heating dairy products too quickly can cause them to curdle or separate.
Sour Cream: You can replace the sour cream with Greek yogurt if you'd rather.
Temperature: Dip can be served chilled, at room temperature, or hot. To warm dip, microwave it in 20-second increments, stirring well between each, until warmed through. Alternately, transfer the dip to a cast-iron skillet or glass baking dish and bake at a low temp for 15 minutes or until desired temperature is reached.
Leftovers: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days.
