💡 Pro Tips for the Best Crack Dip

🔸 Use block cheese – Pre-shredded has anti-caking agents that affect meltiness.
🔸 Spice it up – Add ½ tsp smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce.
🔸 Make ahead – Assemble & refrigerate overnight, then bake before serving.
🔸 No oven? Microwave in 30-sec intervals until melted!
