Peppered Cheddar Dip

This dip was the perfect cooling accompaniment to the Barbecue Smoke Sausage for Super Bowl Sunday. My mother has been making this Peppered Cheddar Dip for years. But the most memorable occasion was for my sister's graduation from Tech. My parents brought crawfish, tables, chairs, table cloths, trays and this dip for after graduation. Mom bought some pottery bowls to put at each end of the table to fill with the dip. She served carrot and celery sticks in baskets to go with the dip. It was a beautiful set up and everyone enjoyed the meal. The memorable part was the teasing mom got from one of my friends for serving the dip in dog bowls. Yes the cute pottery bowls Mom bought were actually dog bowls. LOL!!! In fact one of the bowls was at our Super Bowl Party yesterday. Pug enjoyed her water from it.

This is a great dip, dog bowls optional. I have made it with light and even fat free sour cream and it is still great. I plan to try non fat Greek yogurt one day. The combo of cheddar, green pepper and Tabasco really makes this dip great.
