Notes

Storage

Allow the leftovers to cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to two months.

Reheating

Allow frozen cheese dip to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in the microwave on high, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth and heated through.

Crock Pot

Whisk together the milk and powdered cheddar cheese. Add to a slow cooker with the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until smooth and heated through. Turn to the lowest setting for serving.
