This dip has 100% been a crowd favorite every single time I bring it to a party. A friend made something similar years ago, and I loved how all the flavors and textures came together so much that I wanted to make my own version of it! This dip is cheap and easy to make in less than an hour with bake time; you have yourself a winner.

Optional read for more story time (;
The funny story behind this dip is I showed up with it to a larger group gathering of about 30 people and I didn’t really know anyone in this group yet. So someone had asked me “did you bring this?” He proceeded to try it and absolutely love it, I walked away and several minutes later I walk back in the room to see multiple guys hovering around it. The night goes on and we are all in a circle having a discussion, and when I go to speak everyone shouts “ayyyy dip girl” and we all start laughing hysterically.
Several of those people are now close friends of mine to this day and my legend lives on as dip girl- all because of this delicious dip.
