Notes
- You may want to garnish with melted cheese and a little Old Bay towards the end of the bake time so that you can stir the dip occasionally as it bakes to evenly cook this dip more quickly. Add garnishes about 5 minutes prior to the end of baking so that cheese has time to melt.
- Be careful serving straight from the oven as serving dish will be hot.
