Variations & Tips
For a bit of a kick, try adding some diced green chilies or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese mixture. If you have picky eaters who aren’t fans of sour cream, you can substitute with plain Greek yogurt for a similar texture. For a meatier version, toss in some cooked, crumbled bacon or diced ham. And if you’re looking to add a bit of color, sprinkle some chopped green onions or fresh parsley on top before serving.
