You won’t believe how easy this showstopper dip is!
Plus, it’s full of festive holiday flavors to delight everyone’s tastebuds, even non veggie eaters!
If you don’t tell them, they’ll never guess there are healthy roasted vegetables under all that cheese!
Butternut squash, pumpkin, onion, cheese and seasoning, that’s all there is to it!
Roast the vegetables, 400 degrees for 30 minutes
Try not to nibble!
Place in a food processor, blender or bowl and add pumpkin
Puree to a smooth mix {I used an immersion blender}
Cheese please!
Put it in a greased 1 quart casserole
Top with remaining cheese
Bake and garnish with crispy bacon and scallions {Christmas colors!}
Dive in!
Serve with a variety of dippers, I used Fritos Scoops, celery sticks, and honey mustard pretzel pieces
Fried pita bread would be awesome too…have you ever had fried pita bread, it will make you feel faint it’s so good…
Football, Thanksgiving, Christmas, you’re all set!
