Everybody loves this when I make it. When there is any left, we like to roll it up in tortillas and slice them to make spiral snacks.

I made this bread dip for a Christmas party and now this is my assigned dish every year. Everyone loved it. The only differences were I also added a small bit of minced garlic and a few cheese blends including asiago and romano with the cheddar. Great and easy to make.
