i make a dip that is an easy base,

16 oz sour cream
16 oz cream cheese
1 pkg lipton onion soup mix

soften crem chese blend in sour cream add soup mix and let sit over night

variations

taco seasoning mix package or meat loaf package

if the MSG in these bother you put in your own spices.

also you can dice onions, garlic, mushrooms or shred any other veg to put
in.

meats can be added but cube it very small or shred it, ham beef and corned
beef or pastrami work well, the base is the big deal. since i count
calories i use Fat Free on the cream cheese and sour cream and i have
substitued ricotta or cottage cheese in a pinch and just blended
thouroughly... and i forgot the salad dressing packages like ranch or
itilian work as well.
