Notes
This recipe freezes very well. Place in airtight container and allow to cool before sealing lid. I have found the best way to thaw the dip in the microwave is on a low power setting (30%) for about 3 minutes. This keeps it from bubbling on the sides and making a big mess. I also use multiple containers so I can thaw smaller portions at a time.
