Take-out Tuesday, Broccoli & Cheese Dip or Spread

Let’s face it

Hot and melty cheese dips are pretty hard to resist

Add some bacon, and well, that makes it even harder

But if you add a nice fresh green vegetable like broccoli

Why it becomes almost health food!!

And it’s important to keep your strength up for game day!!    🏈  🐘

Serve dip with crackers, sturdy chips, celery, romaine leaves, or spread on baguette slices
