- For this baked dip recipe, it's important to use a really good hot sauce for the filling. I often use Frank's hot sauce, but the market is filled with a wide variety of flavorful options. Rule of thumb, is use your favorite brand and you can't go wrong.
- You can fully assemble this dip one day in advance, then chill overnight in the refrigerator until baking. If baking in cast iron as I do, place it into an airtight container and spread into the skillet just before baking. It's not advisable to store food in a cast iron skillet unless it's enamel coated.
- Since this dip includes a good amount of hot sauce for kick, I choose a milder Colby Jack cheese for the filling. You could adapt using your favorite flavor of cheese, or what you have on hand.
