I made this for a Super Bowl party last night, and I wish I had tested it out beforehand. The dip had good flavor, but the recipe calls for WAY too much butter. It looked great simmering in the pot, but after I poured it into a bowl, the butter started pooling on the top of the dip. So it looked seriously unappetizing and it was barely touched. I ended up throwing out most of it at the end of the night. If I make this again, I would cut the butter by at least half (maybe 1/4 cup max?) and maybe just add a tablespoon of mayonnaise.
