Creamy Cheese Broccoli And Bacon Dip Recipes

CREAMY CHEESE BROCCOLI AND BACON DIP

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425. Boil broccoli until just tender, then chop into small pieces, place in a large bowl. Add diced onion, bacon bits and garlic. Mix ingredients together thoroughly.
• 2. Add Mayo, sour cream, 1 cup of cheddar and 1 cup of the mozzarella (save the 1/2 cup mozzarella for topping) until everything is binded together. Place mixture in a baking dish.
• 3. Sprinkle the last 1/2 cup of mozzarella over the top of the mixture and place in the oven for approx. 10-15 minutes until cheese is fully melted...(or until you see a slight golden color to the top).
• 4. Remove dip from oven and serve hot with bagel crisps, crackers, veggies, chips or whatever you'd like! (This dip is also great as a sauce over baked boneless skinless chicken breast!)

CREAMY BROCCOLI DIP

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to boil. Add the broccoli and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool. Pat dry. Alternatively, you can drain the broccoli and immediately add to the food processor (just chill the dip before serving).
• Transfer the broccoli to a food processor and add the mayonnaise, milk, parsley, chives, lime juice, dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Pulse to make a smooth dip. Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped dill. Leftover broccoli dip will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups of dip.)
• Serve with broccoli florets and ridged potato chips.
