This is the third of the hot cranberry dips that I have tried for different parties. Like the others this one is good. There are a few differences from the others. This one has two types of cheese and salt and pepper. Now I really couldn't taste the salt and pepper but I'm sure it smoothed out the flavor some. The bottom line is any of them would be good to serve. Pick one over another based on what you have on hand.
Once again I forgot to get a picture of the baked dip. Trust me when I say the cheese gets all melty and gooey.
It is easy enough to throw together the day before a party.
Start with 8 oz of softened cream cheese
Add 1 cup sour cream
Mix those well together.
1/2 cup white cheddar cheese shredded. Keep some out for the top.
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Keep some for the top as well.
1/2 cup dried cranberries. You can use a little more for the top or put fresh on top like I did.
Add some fresh pepper and salt. Mix well.
Spray a baking dish.
Add the mixture to the dish. Smooth out.
Now add a 1/2 cup cranberry sauce. It can be either kind.
Use a knife and cut it into the cream cheese mixture. Swirl it around.
My swirls aren't as pretty as those cooks on TV but once you cover it with cheese no one will know.
Take the cheese and add it to the top.
Like so.
I covered it and labeled it for the next day. This helps you not have to search for your recipe again.
On the day I want to bake I pulled it out early to let it get to room temp. I added some fresh cranberries on top because they are pretty. Place in a preheated 350 oven and bake for 15 minutes or so. It might take a little longer because it has been in the fridge. It will get nice and bubbly. Serve with crackers
