I have made this many times for a holiday appetizer. The red and green peppers make it perfect for Christmas! It's so yummy that I rarely have leftovers, but when I do, they heat up well (removed from bread bowl).

Love this recipe. It has become my recipe that everyone wants. You know that one that everyone "has to have!" :) I have changed it just a little though, I add 1 package of cream cheese to the mix. You get a creamier dip, and you have enough to refill the bowl a little when it empties out (which is usually right away!!).
