Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother dip.
- You can substitute ham with cooked bacon or Canadian bacon for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- This dip can be made ahead of time and refrigerated; just bake it before serving.
- To keep the dip warm longer, cover it with foil after baking or serve in a small slow cooker on low heat.
