Note

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or broth if needed.

Substitutions: For a vegetarian version, substitute bacon drippings with butter or olive oil. You can also use mild salsa instead of Ro-Tel tomatoes for less spice.

Tip: Adjust the amount of cheese for a richer or lighter dip. Add extra hot sauce or diced jalapeños for more heat.
