Hot Broccoli-Cabot Cheddar Dip

By á-2478

Ingredients

• 1 (10 ounces) package frozen chopped broccoli
• 8 ounces Cabot Sharp or Extra Sharp Cheddar, grated (about 2 cups)
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 - 1 teaspoon Tabasco or other hot sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place frozen broccoli in microwave-safe bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave until hot and tender, about 9 minutes (do not add any water).

2. Uncover and add cheddar, cream cheese, milk, hot sauce and pepper to bowl. Cover again and microwave just until cheeses are melted, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Stir until smooth. (If mixture seems thin, it will thicken upon cooling slightly.)

3. Serve with crackers and fresh vegetables.
