Notes
Use a rotisserie chicken for easy dinner prep! A cast iron skillet is a great option to cook this dip in the oven. The cast iron keeps the dip warm and cheesy longer than a traditional baking dish. Want more spice? Add a few drops of hot sauce to the recipe. Make it in the microwave! Using a microwave safe dish, cover with plastic wrap and heat for several minutes. Slow Cooker option! Add all the ingredients in a small crockpot and heat on low for 3 hours, or high for 1 hour. Serve warm.
