The Best Frikin' Party Dip Ever!

"This dip was a big hit at our family's Thanksgiving dinner. The flavors are bold, and may be a bit intimidating for the sensitive tasters, but, clearly a standout on the appetizer table.

This transported well to the event, and took 5 minutes heating in the microwave, stirring, and ready to serve. This would do best in a fondue pot or chafing dish to keep it hot during serving.

I skip the onions and chives and every now and then throw in some cheddar to melt at the end..." See more. Typically though, I use hot sausage, regular rotel and low fat cream cheese. This rocks with frito scoops or corn chips."
