A lady who works with me brought this one day to one of our get togethers. It was the best dip I have ever tasted. I don't know where it originated from. I make it to take to work when we have finger-food day. People are always asking for the recipe.

Tips:

  • Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent the cheese from melting smoothly.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Combining different types of cheese will create a more flavorful dip. For example, try using a combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and cream cheese.
  • Add some spices: Spices can help to enhance the flavor of the dip. Try adding a little garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overcook the dip: The dip should be heated through, but not so long that the cheese starts to separate.
  • Serve the dip warm: Cheese dip is best served warm, straight from the oven or slow cooker.
