Tips for the Best Dip
- Flavor Variations - we love the classic flavor combination of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich with roast beef, peppers, and onions. You can change up the flavor profile when you make the dip by using a different bell pepper such as red, orange or yellow. You can also add red onions, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini peppers, diced artichokes, chopped spinach, and more. The possibilities are endless.
- For Serving - this dip can be served with chips, crackers, vegetable sticks, warm baguette, crostini, or bread to dip. It's a fun way to keep the dip unique each time you serve it!
- Spice Level - we love adding some spice to our dips! You can swap the mozzarella for shredded pepper jack cheese or a jalapeno Havarti cheese! You can also add a few splashes of hot sauce into the dip mixture. Diced jalapenos or hot peppers are a great addition to the dip as well!
