# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • This dip disappears faster than you can say touchdown, making you the hero of any gathering without actually having to cook anything complicated
  • The combination of hot sauce cooling down in the oven while cheese gets bubbly and golden creates this incredible depth that store-bought versions never achieve
02 -
  • Assemble everything up to two days ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator, then just bake when you are ready to serve
  • Letting it cool for those five minutes seems pointless but actually helps the dip set slightly so its not quite so messy to scoop
03 -
  • Leftovers heat up beautifully in the microwave, though we have never personally experienced having leftovers to speak of
  • Line your baking dish with foil for easier cleanup because this cheese definitely wants to stick to everything
