Light Broccoli Cheese Spread/Dip

A really delicious find was this recipe for a Warm Broccoli Cheese Spread in the Light and Tasty section of my Taste of Home Cookbook. I've always had great reviews when I make it.

8 oz. fat-free cream cheese, cubed

8 oz. reduced-fat sour cream

1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix

10 oz. frozen chopped broccoli, thawed, drained and patted dry

2 C. shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided

Crackers to serve spread with
1- I like to briefly food-process the broccoli in order to break up some of the big chunks. Then, in a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream and salad dressing mix until blended. Fold in the broccoli and 1 1/2 C. cheese.

2- Spoon into a shallow 1-qt. baking dish precoated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake another 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Serve warm with crackers.
