Notes
Notes-
- To make ahead, follow steps 2 and 3. Cover and chill for up to 24 hours. Uncover and bake for 40-45 minutes, until bubbly.
- I use a 8x8 casserole dish and if I double the recipe I use a 9x13 casserole dish. If you use a 9x13 casserole dish without doubling the recipe I recommend that you bake the dip for about 20-25 minutes.
