Easy Smoked Chipotle Cheese Dip
One of my favorite things to do with friends and family is throw together a fun game night! Everyone can get involved- it is a great way to start off the evening with a little friendly competition ;) And of course, it’s always a fun bonding time over belly laughs and good bites!
Life has been so busy lately, so I’m all about super easy snacks! One thing that I love to serve up on these occasions is my super simple Smokey Chipotle Cheese Dip recipe. It is so easy to make, and super delicious! It’s sure to be a crowd favorite. All you need to do is throw the ingredients in a pan, mix them together, and bake the dish for 20 minutes! You can even throw the dip into a crock pot once it’s all done. It will stay perfectly warm so guests can grab a handful of chips and dig in between a round of cards.
