Always a favorite and oh so easy to make—just combine all the ingredients in a baking dish and bake until warm and bubbly. When feeding a crowd, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves or chopped fresh parsley over the dip before serving. Partner it with an assortment of dippers like raw veggies and whole grain crackers. You can't mess this dip so have fun with it and change the flavor each time you make it: add fresh garlic, horseradish, extra hot sauce, chopped jalapeño, fresh herbs, mustard or capers. This recipe can be made up to 1 day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.
