Notes

Dippers : Serve with crackers, pita chips, pretzel thins, potato chips, wavy potato chips, or tortilla chips.
Shredded Cheese : Use your favorite variety of shredded cheese instead of the cheddar cheese - Use Pepper Jack cheese for some spice, Monterey Jack Cheese, or Colby Jack Cheese are other great options.
Taco Seasoning : Use mild taco seasoning, regular, or a hot & spicy taco seasoning packet. I use a packet of mild taco seasoning.
Lighten It Up : Although I personally don't recommend doing this, you can use reduced-fat lite cream cheese and/or lite sour cream in the boat dip recipe for a lighter option. 
Add Black Beans or Corn : Adding a can of well drained and rinsed black beans (or canned corn) is a great addition. Give the dip more of a Mexican flavor to it!
