Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened (light is okay, I used TJ’s Soft Spreadable Light
- 1 cup mayonnaise I used Best Foods Light Mayo, light is okay
- 6 to 8 ounces cheese divided (I used 7-ounces Blarney Castle, grated
- 1 vidalia onion peeled and diced (about 1 heaping cup, medium/large, sweet
- 1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste, ground
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional and to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish (or 10-inch, or similar-sized oven-safe baking dish) with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large bowl, add all ingredients (except reserve about 1/2 cup cheese to be sprinkled on top) and stir to combine.
- Turn mixture out into prepared dish, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
- Evenly sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup cheese over the top.
- Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until top is golden browned, bubbly, and dip is done to your liking (I baked for 47 minutes). Allow dip to cool momentarily before serving.

Serving Suggestions – chips, bread, crackers, bagel chips, pita chips, Fritos Scoops, mini toasts, carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber sticks, zucchini sticks, jicama, bell pepper wedges, mushrooms, your favorite crudites, or eat by the spoonful.

Notes
- Store leftover dip airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to preserve freshness.
- Reheat gently in the microwave to restore warmth without breaking the dip’s creamy texture.
- Ensure all ingredients are gluten-free if dietary restrictions require it, by checking product labels carefully.
