Hot Broccoli Dip Crock Pot Or Microwave Recipes

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave broccoli on high for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until tender, stirring once. Drain well. In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic salt and lemon-pepper until smooth. Add broccoli., In a small saucepan, saute the celery, onion and mushrooms in butter until tender. Stir into cream cheese mixture. Before serving, microwave, uncovered, on high for 20-50 seconds or until warm, stirring once. Serve with crackers.

Steps:

• Melt the cheese in the microwave in a large bowl.
• Add undiluted soup and mix well.
• Cook broccoli, drain, and add to the mixture, stirring well.
• Serve warm with Frito's Scoops, crackers, or tortilla chips.
• Keeps well in a crock pot on low setting (stir periodically) or just pop it back in the microwave at serving time.
• NOTE 9/11/07: I have been making this for years, but recently ran across the original recipe in an old cookbook. It turns out that the original had two cans of soup, which obviously would make a thinner dip. I'll probably still make it with one can, but if it seems thick, you might want to try two cans! :).

Steps:

• Cook broccoli according to pkg. directions and drain well.
• Saute onion, celery, and mushrooms in butter until tender.
• In the meantime, melt cheese in undiluted soup in a large saucepan on very low heat, stirring often.
• When cheese is melted and smooth, add remaining ingredients.
• Serve hot in chafing dish or crockpot with crackers or corn chips.
• Freezes well and can be used as a vegetable casserole.
