Make-Ahead Friendly

You can whip this up a day in advance and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake! It will be a little thicker in the fridge, but that just means more cheesy goodness when you heat it up!

Storing and Serving Tips

How to Serve This Dip

You can serve this dip right out of the oven, fresh and piping hot, but it also tastes fantastic at room temperature. Pair it with crusty bread, crispy crackers, or crunchy veggie sticks for a delightful experience!

Storage

This dip keeps well in the fridge for about 3-4 days in a sealed container. I recommend allowing it to cool completely before transferring!

Reheating Instructions

To reheat, simply pop it back into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave it in short bursts, stirring in between, for quick results. Just keep an eye on it, lest you end up with an overly bubbly situation (my kitchen has seen its share of casualties!).

Freezer Friendly

Yes, this dip is freezer-friendly! You can freeze it before baking. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then place it in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, let it thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as directed!

Conclusion

So there you have it, my easy Marry Me Dip! Seriously, if you’re looking for something that’s sure to impress yet is also super simple, this dip is it! Your family will love every creamy, cheesy bite, and you’ll have the added bonus of having cleaned out a bit of your fridge, win-win! Enjoy, friends!
