Notes
Storage:
Store any leftover million dollar dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When ready to serve, let it sit out for at least 10 minutes to be a nice scoopable consistency.
We don't recommend freezing this dip as it can change both the texture and the flavor. But it is a great entertaining recipe to make in advance, up to the day before, to allow the flavors to get deeper with every bite.
Tips:
- Make sure your cream cheese is room temperature before mixing. This makes for even and easy combining of the ingredients so they flavors are equal throughout!
- Grate the cheddar cheese from scratch. Make sure you grate this from the block to get the best flavor and no gritty texture from the powdery coating some pre-shredded cheeses have.
- Add more spices if you please. If you like a little bit of heat, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper, you can also add smoked paprika, onion powder, even more garlic powder for even stronger flavor.
- Make sure you refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to marry the flavors. This helps the dip become so much more flavorful if it has time to rest in the fridge before serving.
- Swap the type of cheese. You can easily add in other cheeses like Monterey jack, pepper jack, white cheddar, even Swiss!
