Can I make Keto Hot Pimento Cheese Dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can mix everything together, cover the dish, and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking. When you’re ready, bake it straight from the fridge, just add 5 extra minutes to the cook time.

What can I serve with Hot Pimento Cheese Dip?

For a low-carb option, use celery sticks, cucumber slices, bell peppers, pork rinds, or cheese crisps. If you’re serving guests who aren’t keto, you can also offer tortilla chips or toasted bread.

Can I freeze Pimento Cheese Dip?

It’s not the best recipe for freezing because cream cheese can turn grainy after thawing. For best flavor and texture, store leftovers in the fridge and reheat within 4 days.
