Notes

Soften the Cream Cheese: Don't skip this step! Softened cream cheese is essential for a smooth, lump-free dip.
Drain the Rotel Well: To avoid a watery dip, press the Rotel in a fine-mesh sieve to remove as much liquid as possible.
Make Ahead: This dip is perfect for making ahead. You can prepare it up to 2 days in advance; just keep it covered in the refrigerator.
