Baked Cheesy Onion Veggie Dip

Ingredients

• 4 green onions
• 4 ounces mushrooms, cleaned
• 1/2 bell pepper, any color
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 ounces black olives (optional)
• 4 slices bacon, cooked, crumbled (optional) or 1 lb ground sausage, browned and drained (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Chop, mince, dice or slice veggies to your desired size and shape. I like to chop everything and mince the garlic with my garlic press.

2. 2

   Sauté onions, mushrooms and bell pepper until soft and onions are translucent. Add garlic and sauté one minute more.

3. 3

   Add mayo, mozzarella, cheddar and chopped olives and meat if using. Stir to combine.

4. 4

   Scoop all into an 8x8 glass pan or similar size oven proof dish. Bake at 350°F until melted and dip-like (is that a word?) About 15-20 minutes.

5. 5

   Enjoy on corn chips, tortilla chips or crackers.

6. 6

   Feel free to adjust amount and type of veggies to your taste. Just keep the cheese and mayo mixture the same.

7. 7

   Some other great veggies to add or substitute would be seeded tomatoes, zucchini, artichokes, hot peppers, etc.
