Notes

For a spicier dip, increase the cayenne pepper or add diced jalapeños. Consider using half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter dip. You can stir in cooked chorizo, black beans, or corn to make it heartier. Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the crock pot or microwave.
