  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a more complex flavor. Some good options include sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Gouda.
  • Add some cooked bacon, crumbled sausage, or roasted vegetables to the dip for extra flavor and texture.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers, such as tortilla chips, pretzels, crackers, and vegetables.
