Hot Broccoli Dip

DH loves this dip, and so did my guests at a recent party. I got the recipe from The Nashville Cookbook. Instead of fresh onion and celery, I usually use 2 Tbsp. dried minced onion and 2 Tbsp. dried chopped celery, rehydrated with equal parts water.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 15-20

Ingredients

• 20  ounces  frozen chopped broccoli
• 1  large onion, finely chopped

• 1 (6 ounce)  roll  garlic cheese rolls
• 1 (10 3/4ounce) can  cream of mushroom soup
• 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
• 2  tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Directions

1. Cook broccoli according to pkg. directions and drain well.
2. Saute onion, celery, and mushrooms in butter until tender.
3. In the meantime, melt cheese in undiluted soup in a large saucepan on very low heat, stirring often.
4. When cheese is melted and smooth, add remaining ingredients.
5. Serve hot in chafing dish or crockpot with crackers or corn chips.
