My favorite way to serve it is with a side of Ritz Crackers or Fritos but its also delicious with club crackers, tortilla chips, or even veggies. Can I make this ahead of time? This dip is perfect to prepare ahead of time, and it only gets better with time. Alternatively, you can serve it straight away. However, if you choose to make it in advance and store it in the fridge, the consistency will firm up slightly. Just dont forget to give it a stir before serving. What other cheese can I use? For a bit of variety in your cheese selection, try adding mozzarella, pepper jack, colby jack, or even blue cheese. They all make for great additions! Do I have to use real bacon bits? No, I opted for real bacon bits (see my ingredient picture below) simply because theyre faster and easier to use. However, using 12 ounces of cooked, crumbled bacon is also an option. Alternatively, diced ham can be used for an equally amazing outcome. What else can I add in? I havent tried it, but I have heard that slivered almonds are tasty and you could try a teaspoon of dried ranch seasoning to mix it up. If you dont want to use sour cream, try using mayo instead. Can this be made into a hot dip? Ive gotten this question a lot so I thought I would add it here. I have not tested this as a hot dip. I think it would work but I just have not personally tried it.
