  2. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the cream cheese is completely melted and the mixture is heated through and smooth. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
