Baked Mushroom Dip Recipe

Baked Mushroom DipOne of the best things about spring is the get-togethers that inevitably happen. Friends and family peek their heads out the door, shovel off the remaining piles of snow on the deck, and prepare to host birthday parties, showers, barbecues and any reason to see friends that have been hibernating in 2015. I love hosting, and yes one of my favorite parts of hosting friends is the food! Later this month we’ll be celebrating my youngest daughter’s 4th birthday by having a group of close friends over. Let the party food planning begin!

One of our favorites in this household is an easy Baked Mushroom Dip. The core ingredients (Kraft Cream Cheese, Kraft Habanero Shredded Cheese, mushrooms and onions) are important, and the seasonings can be played with to suit your tastes. Below I suggested Garlic Plus or Herb & Garlic seasoning, but we’ve also tried chili powder or even a spicy mustard. It’s up to you!
