Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to cool before transferring it. If you have a large batch, you could also freeze it for up to 3 months. Just make sure to use a freezer-safe container.

You may notice the dip’s flavor becomes even more pronounced with the rest time!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

  • Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing; this helps everything blend smoothly.
  • If the dip seems too thick after cooking, adding a splash of milk can help reach your desired consistency.

  • Feel free to experiment by adding in some chopped green onions or cooked bacon bits for an extra flavor punch.
  • This dip can be prepared a day in advance—just assemble and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook. The flavors will deepen overnight!
