What I especially liked about this recipe is that it wasn't greasy. Some recipes I've tried in the past leave this greasy film which isn't too appetizing. However, this one had a perfect balance of flavors, seasonings and the texture was spot on - not too loose or too thick, just right. If you wanted some additional variation, try mixing in some shredded chicken, shrimp or even crabmeat to the dip just before baking. I've tried this with crabmeat and it was excellent!
