Boat Dip
I stumbled upon a Boat Dip recipe online and couldn't resist giving it a shot. With my kids heading out for a camping trip,I packed them off with a tub of the dip and a bag of Fritos. It was a huge hit! They raved about it, so it's officially a new family favorite. There are countless variations out there, but this one is a real winner.
