I have been making a similar recipe for awhile now. I too am unwilling to spend $8 a pound for the dip made at that chain store. I found it to be inexpensive and easily made with just 3 ingredients. *8 oz. shredded mozzarella *1 medium sweet or red onion minced *1 C (give or take) mayonnaise. yield: over 1 lb. cost: about $2.50

Came out great but skipped the milk part, seemed a bit unnecessary to me with the mayo already added...not sure it would make a difference in taste if I did add it but came out wonderful without the milk in case anyone was curious.

Kathy, I thank you for the money a very large group of us is about to save. A local chain grocer sells this for $8. a lb. and it's made with non fancy swiss. Followed this recipe but I cheated and went with the cheap swiss, Kraft mayo, 1/2 & 1/2 and yellow onion. SUPERB! Will sub green for the yellow onion next time...which will be this coming weekend! Made for 2008 cookbook tag.

I used sweet onions and added some pepper and a little sour cream. The flavor is really good, but I'm not sure about the grated cheese, it makes it a little awkward to scoop. Overall really tasty though, thanks!

This is a great dip & spread ~ I spread some on a piece of whole wheat toast before setting it out to be used as a dip! Flavorful without being overly spicy, & thus a dip that adds a nice diverson from the usual! Thank you for posting this recipe!
