Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Beat with a hand mixer or spatula until smooth and no lumps remain.

Notes

Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For the smoothest dip, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
Shred Your Own Cheese: Block cheese melts better and has a superior flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.
Make-Ahead: This dip can be fully prepared (but not baked) up to 3 days in advance. Store covered in the refrigerator.
