Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 c chopped broccoli
1 c mayonnaise
1 1/2 c sour cream
1 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c shredded mozzarella or italian blend cheese
2 clove garlic - smashed
1/3 c bacon bits
1/2 c finely diced red onion

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425. Boil broccoli until just tender, then chop into small pieces, place in a large bowl. Add diced onion, bacon bits and garlic. Mix ingredients together thoroughly.
2. Add Mayo, sour cream, 1 cup of cheddar and 1 cup of the mozzarella (save the 1/2 cup mozzarella for topping) until everything is binded together. Place mixture in a baking dish.
3. Sprinkle the last 1/2 cup of mozzarella over the top of the mixture and place in the oven for approx. 10-15 minutes until cheese is fully melted...(or until you see a slight golden color to the top).
4. Remove dip from oven and serve hot with bagel crisps, crackers, veggies, chips or whatever you'd like! (This dip is also great as a sauce over baked boneless skinless chicken breast!)
