Mushroom Dip

As many of you know I am an Independent Epicure Selections Consultant and thus I often make dips to take along to my Tasting parties.  This is not a recipe you will find on the company website...it is a based on other mushroom dip recipes I dug up.  This is one of my fancier appetizers, it is more work than a regular Epicure dip but worth it for something a little different.

Here is my recipe:

2 Tbsp. butter

3 cups mushrooms finely chopped (I used my food processor to "chop" mine)

1 Tbsp. Epicure 3 Onion Dip Mix

1 Tbsp. Epicure Herb and Garlic Dip Mix

Saute these ingredients until most of the moisture is gone.  Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.  

In a bowl combine:  

1 8 oz. package of light cream cheese

1 tsp. Epicure Lemon Dilly Dip Mix

1 tsp. Cheese and Jalapeno Dip Mix

1/2 cup (low fat) mayo

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

a little freshly ground pepper (optional)

Add the mushroom mixture to the bowl and mix well.  Place in an oven proof dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20- 30 minutes or until heated through.  (or microwave) Stir and serve.  Enjoy with crackers or sliced baguette!  

Cheers!!
