Kitchen Confessions {Hot Broccoli Cheese Dip}

This past weekend it was our turn to host our monthly dinner club. I almost always make Cowboy Caviar for an appetizer, so I decided to change it up a bit this time. I dug through my recipes and came across one that I had not made in forever. It's a Hot Broccoli Cheese Dip and it is really yummy!

This is one of those kind of things you can prepare ahead of time, keep in the fridge, and then just warm up in the oven right before you need it. It's a crowd pleaser and even got my kids eating broccoli, which is quite an accomplishment. Honestly, I don't even think they realized what was in it, but everyone must have felt the same way because this is all that was left.

Hot Broccoli Cheese Dip
1 pkg. (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 envelope Good Seasons Mild Italian Salad Dressing mix
1 pkg. (10 oz) frozen broccoli, chopped and thawed
1 pkg. (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese

Mix cream cheese, sour cream, and salad dressing mix with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Stir in broccoli and 1/2 of cheese. Spoon into 9 inch pie plate.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake until cheese is melted (approximately 5 minutes).

Serve with Wheat Thins or other crackers and enjoy!
