- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cup of (canned or fresh) jalepeno tomato relish
- 1 large garlic clove, mashed
- a few dashes of tobasco sauce
- a few cranks of fresh black pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and stir well. Scrape into a casserole dish, cover and bake for 40 minutes. Serve this savory dip warm with bagel chips, corn chips, crackers or bread. Enjoy!
