Smoky Chipotle Dip
To turn up the flavor, whip up this easy dip that pairs perfectly with your chili cheese bombs:
- 1 cup sour cream

Instructions: In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the minced chipotle peppers until smooth. This creamy, smoky dip has just the right amount of kick to complement the savory bombs.
