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

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
