Notes
Make Ahead: I make this in advance often and keep it in the fridge for a day or two before I bake it. You'll need to add some baking time, and it's ready when it's hot and bubbly!
Gluten Free: This dish is gluten free as written, just check labels to be extra sure.
Cheese: Grating your own cheese will make this dip extra melty; bagged grated cheese also works well to save some time.
Chorizo: Mexican chorizo is sold uncooked in bulk or in casings. The casings usually aren't edible; squeeze the sausage from the casing into the pan, then crisp it up.
