It’s my favorite time of year! I love the change of colors, the crispness to the air and FOOTBALL. And now it’s my favorite bloggy time of the month. It’s Secret Recipe Club reveal time. A club where we get assigned another blog…secretly…whip up one of their recipes and post about it. This month I was assigned Melissa’s Cuisine.
Melissa is a busy young mom (younger than my daughters…), a runner and she has not one but two blogs! Whew, I got tired just reading about her. Despite being busy Melissa finds time to be in the kitchen cooking up amazing food. Early in the assignment I had made up my mind what I was going to make, I pinned her Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwich (secretly) because OMG did that sound good. And I pinned her dill pickle bread because I heart pickles.
Then I hopped back on her site and saw the recipe for Stuffed Cabbage Casserole and thought that would be a great and easy way to use some of my cabbage from the garden.
Then I didn’t make any of them.
The lure of Sunday football food, chips and dips ended up winning my heart.
Dill pickle dip, yep that’s what I said. It was a first for me but I knew with my adoration for pickles this would be a winner.
Plus I couldn’t help but think back to my SRC post in August when I had Eliot’s Eats and made her Delicious Dill Pickles.
Guess what pickles went into this dip? Bingo, it was like a two-fer! Part of my last jar went into to this, if I dare admit, amazing dip. Because I combined the two I renamed the recipe to give them both credit 😉
I did add my own little tweaks to the recipe. I upped the pickle-age, added 1/2 teaspoon dried dill and mixed in 1 cup of sour cream for an uber creamy, dilly, cheesy dip.
It was a perfect match with Kettle ridges salt and black pepper chips, and even better match with beer and football 🙂
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups minced pickle
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
- In a medium bowl beat all ingredients together with a mixer or by hand until blended and lightly whipped.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Serve with chips or crackers.
- Makes a great sandwich spread!
Drop in and visit Melissa and the rest of Group C revealers.
So glad you enjoyed this dip! It is one of my favorites! I usually add extra pickles too 😉
Melissa,
My hubby and I enjoyed it so much that we didn’t share with anyone! We found that it made a great sandwich spread for a ham sandwich, we even stuffed some hot dogs with it, yum!
When I had Melissa’s blog I almost made this dip too. I’m so sad I haven’t yet because it looks heavenly! I’d end up eating it for breakfast right now.
Erin,
I recommend making this. It’s a pickle lover’s dream! So different than all the other dips!
Yes! When I had Melissa’s blog I made this also and it was a GREAT dip! Yours looks much prettier than mine 😉
Rachael,
Of course I already knew you had excellent taste so I’m not surprised that you would pick this dip also!
I love this kind of dippy stuff! (Notice I didn’t cuss this time….I actually remembered to sign up for October’s reveal (but sadly not November’s). Doh!
(I also love that brand of chips!)
Me too, I’m a dipper ;-), glad you got signed up for this month but i’ll miss you in November. I think I actually forgot to sign up for last go round…
Oh, wow… I need to make this. Now! 🙂
It’s a unique dip but oh so good…watch out it’s addictive.
This seems so easy. I can’t believe I’ve never thought of making this kind of dip before. I will definitely be making this dill pickle dip at my next party. Great SRC post
Stephanie, I know, right. I thought to myself why haven’t I’ve done this before and what other awesome dip combos am I not thinking of.
That is so neat you used a recipe made from another SRC reveal to make the recipe for this one! I’ve seen pickle dip a lot lately and really need to hop on that bandwagon- sounds so delicious! I like that you upped the pickleage (lol) and added sour cream!
Veronica, Ha, I am so not surprised that you picked up on my non-word verbiage ‘pickleage’. I’m totally on the bandwagon when it comes to stuff like this (easy and unique), although usually I don’t normally catch on until the bandwagon has ridden off into the sunset 😉
I am a sucker for a good dip recipe! Definitely trying this! And those chips… never seen them but I’ll be on the lookout for sure!
Desi, wow if you’ve never tried Kettle chips before you are missing out. I rarely mention things by brand but when I do I’m telling ya they are good. If you find them you so have to make the dip to go with!
With this dip, who needs chips??
Chips and dip are my weakness, so these pictures have my mouth watering! Can’t wait to try this!
