Tis the season! To cook, bake, rodeo and my favorite — eat! Not only is this month the National Finals Rodeo held in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, it’s Christmas time! Which to me means parties, family, and my favorite — food! This recipe is a cheesy dip with a little bit of a kick to it and great to bring with you to all your holiday gatherings, or make it for a night in while watching one of the rounds at this year’s NFR! I’ve made it twice and it hasn’t gotten the thumbs down yet! Thank you for another great year of reading my recipes. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you all in 2014!
Everything That's Good Dip
2 8-oz pkgs. of cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
4-6 jalapeno’s chopped and deseeded (the jalapeno seeds will make it fiery hot)
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 cup diced green onions or red onions
Topping:
1 cup of crushed crackers (I used Ritz)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 stick of butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350. Combine all of the ingredients into medium bowl. Stir well. Transfer to a shallow oven-proof dish. The size of the dish depends on how deep the dip will be; the deeper the dish the longer it may need to warm up. I like to use a longer skinnier dish...easier to dip crackers, bread, etc. Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle all over the top of the dip. Bake the dip for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly. Enjoy!
