Granite City Sour Cream Dip

Let the dip sit in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Try different spices and herbs to create your own unique dip flavors.

For added crunch, mix in chopped nuts, seeds, or crispy bacon before serving.

Avoid using metal utensils when serving the dip as they can react with the acidic ingredients.

To make a thicker dip, strain the sour cream before mixing to remove excess liquid.

Add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or hot sauce for a spicy kick.

Use the dip as a sauce for grilled meats or roasted vegetables.

Try mixing in a bit of honey or brown sugar for a touch of sweetness to balance out the tangy flavors.

Make a double batch for a party or gathering to make sure you have enough dip for everyone.
