This creamy, bubbly spread is sure to please. Baked to a golden brown, cream cheese and mayonnaise give this appetizer a mild flavor. Valerie Elkinton Gardner, Kansas

Made just 1/2 of this recipe last night. It's very good. I agree it does make a huge amount. I would also suggest cutting back on some of the mayonnaise. I switched the mozzarella cheese for a Italian blend and I added additional chopped up sun_dried tomatoes. Its an excellent spread. Very eye appealing and will compliment many types of crackers. It's even better the next day.

Mostly cheese so it didn't have much flavor to it.

Just made in two separate shallow casserole dishes, no need to grease if your using CorningWare. I roasted my red pepper (lightly covered in veg oil) under the broiler for 10 minutes turning every couple minutes. First time roasting a red pepper. :) This recipe is a keeper ! Yummy

Wonderful recipe!! Easy to put together and I always get asked for the recipe when I take this somewhere. Does well in a small crock pot (about 2/3 of recipe will fit) - just keep an eye on how low the pot is getting so it doesn't burn!

I made this for a super bowl party and my son-in-law said it was his favorite recipe ever!

This was the perfect appetizer! I halved the recipe for a smaller gathering and cooked it in a glass pie pan. The edges didn?t burn and the dish stayed warm during the 30 minute car trip and for serving!

After making this for a family gathering I'm now being asked all the time to bring this dish! I don't use the roasted sweet red peppers and also sometimes add crab. mmmmmm
