This recipe came about last night in a rather strange way. My husband and I were out with a bunch of his college frat brothers. After quite a few bourbons and beers, everyone decided to come back to our apartment to hang out. Being the Suzie Homemaker that I am, I felt like I needed to put out food for everyone immediately. Problem was, I hadn't prepared to have people over and therefore had not done any food shopping.

Out of what I had in the fridge, I came up with this super easy dip, which literally lasted all of 5 seconds in front of 4 hungry guys. So today, I decided to re-make this dip, and write down the quantities of ingredients.... it's the easiest and tastiest concoction and great for a quick party dip!
