Tip

Cheddar Tip

Select sharp cheddar when using packaged shredded cheese from recipes that you’d like to have a bolder flavor. If you will be shredding cheese at home from bulk cheddar, you can choose from mild, medium, sharp and extra sharp.

Medium-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a medium-bodied white wine such as Riesling or Gewürtztraminer

This recipe is easy and delicious. It is a nice change from the layered dips that call for refried beans. I have made this several times.

I love this recipe! I added refried beans as a bottom layer and my fiance can't get enough of it!
