Notes

*Note - If you're planning on traveling with this dish, allow it to cool uncovered for approximately 30 minutes on the counter, and then cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil until you get to your destination. This dip is just as yummy hot, and gooey as it is warm and not so gooey, so no worries if you don't serve it directly from the oven.
