SMOKY CREAM CHEESE (AS A DIP OR FOR MANY OTHER USES)



Smoky Cream Cheese (As a Dip or for Many Other Uses) image

This is such a versatile recipe. I created it as a dip to go with raw vegetables (such as celery and carrot sticks), but found that it worked very well as a substitute for sour cream on mashed potatoes. A friend who tried it said it would also be good as a dipper for some seafood items -- just add some sweet chili sauce. Hope you try it and let me know how you used it. UPDATE: Thanks everyone for trying this for the Ready, Set, Cook contest. Based on comments, I have adjusted the amount of lemon called for in the ingredients. We love lemon and the original recipe called for 1 lemon, zest and juice. Decide for yourself, based on your taste.preferences.

CREAM CHEESE AND SMOKED BEEF

May be served in a bowl or... I like to slice the top of a green bell pepper off, clean the seeds out, then scoop in the cream cheese mixture. Serve with crackers around it. It looks so pretty. You can slice the green pepper up, and also eat it with the spread. If you prefer, you can also make this with turkey or ham.
