Recipe Tips
- Variation
Prepare using Neufchatel cheese, light ranch dip and shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese. - Note
This dip is equally delicious when prepared without the baking step. Mix the cream cheese mixture as directed, then spread it onto the bottom of a shallow serving dish. Top with the reserved and remaining ingredients before serving with the vegetable dippers and RITZ Chips. - How to Store Any Leftovers
Any leftover dip can be refrigerated up to 2 days. If desired, sprinkle the leftover dip with additional shredded cheese, bacon and green onions and serve cold. Or, you can bake the leftover dip in a 375°F oven until heated through.
