- Make It Ahead: Prep the dip earlier in the day and store it covered in the refrigerator. Pop it in the oven right before your guests arrive.
- Make It Ahead: Another open for making ahead is to place all ingredients except cheese in a crockpot and stir periodically. When cream cheese is melted turn crockpot to warm and stir in cheddar cheese.
- Homemade Touch: Use homemade buffalo sauce or ranch dressing to elevate the flavors.
- Adjust Heat: For a milder version, use less buffalo sauce or mix in more ranch dressing.
