Submitted by Mishkapett

"This is one of my favorites!! It gets requested for every get together or party we go to! Easy, one dish and very tasty!! Make it up and pour it into a "bread bowl" and watch it disappear!! I like to have an assortment of crackers nearby to finish this up."

This didn't turn out as chunky as I expected. Next time, I will cut back on the mayo. I used hot sauce and it wasn't as spicy as I was expecting. This is something I would take to a small get together.

I really liked this, except, it was a bit heavy on the tobasco for most of my guests. So if you are concerned about possibly being to spicy for some, consider reducing the tobasco to a teaspoon.
