Make Ahead Tips
Refrigerator Instructions: This dip can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Assemble it and do not bake it. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Preheat the oven 40 minutes before you will serve it and bake for about 25 minutes. I highly recommend allowing the dip to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving as it will be piping hot.
Freezer Instructions: Assemble the dip and transfer it to the baking pan. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw the dip overnight in the refrigerator and bake as per the recipe’s instructions.
