The combination of flavors makes this dip very interesting as well as delicious. It's a challenge to not eat a lot while you're making it. I'm usually anxious for my guests to arrive so I can serve it and dig in!

ULTIMATE CHEESE DIP



Ultimate Cheese Dip image

This cheese dip is easily the best that I've ever had, and being a college student I've had quite a lot. The only reason there are ever leftovers is because this dip is so delicious and filling. I recommend Mission® or On The Border® chips because this dip is rather thick and you need a durable chip that wont break off too easy!
