Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dip ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dip a day in advance. Cook it in the crock-pot and let it cool before transferring to a refrigerator-safe container. Reheat before serving, adding a bit of milk if it thickens up.
What can I use instead of Velveeta cheese?
If you prefer a more natural cheese flavor, you can use a combination of cream cheese and shredded cheddar. This will give a similar creamy texture, although it may alter the taste slightly.
