How to Make Hot Ham and Cheese Dip
Making this hot ham and Swiss dip is a snap. You just need a mixing bowl, baking dish, and some really basic ingredients that you might even have in your kitchen right now.
To make this scrumptious warm cheese dip, add 1 cup of your Swiss cheese, half of your cheddar cheese, your softened cream cheese, spices, mustard, and diced ham to a bowl. Then just mix everything so that it’s well combined.
To finish the prep you just need to transfer the cheesy mixture to an oven safe baking dish and top with the remaining cheese. Then you bake it at 350 until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
That’s it! Almost no fuss!
