Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma didn't have a food processor for many years and still made this dip easily. She let the cream cheese stand at room temperature until it was soft, shredded the Gouda on the small-holed side of a grater, then combined the ingredients and baked the dip as directed. The baking blended the cheeses just about as well as a food processor did.
