Chipotle Queso Dip (and a giveaway!)

When we were contacted by Hampton Creek to try their products, we did a little research and immediately knew theirs was a company that we could get behind.  From their website: "Hampton Creek is a company dedicated to making it easy for good people to do the right thing. Whether you're a hip college student or a single mom raising two kids, everyone should be able to eat delicious food that's healthier, sustainable, and affordable."  We couldn't agree more.

Then we tried the Just Mayo - all four flavors (chipotle, garlic, siracha, and original) - and we were sold.  Amazing in dips and salads as well as on sandwiches, Hampton Creek's egg-free Just Mayo can't be beat.  (BTW - You may also want to know that they make egg-free cookie dough that you may want to eat right out of the jar - and could do so safely.)

I made this dip with the chipotle Just Mayo and everyone loved it at a recent gathering.  It makes quite a bit; if you aren't hosting a large gathering, you may want to halve this recipe.  But it is so good, you may be hoping for leftovers!

Hampton Creek would love to send a package of all four flavors of Just Mayo, plus a few bonuses, to one lucky winner.  To enter, just leave a comment in the comment section below.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 blocks of cream cheese
• 1/2 cup of chopped onions (can be frozen)
• 1/2 cup of Just Mayo - chipotle flavor 
• 1 (16 ounce) package of shredded Mexican blend cheese - about 2 cups
• 1 (16 ounce )package of shredded parmesan cheese - about 2 cups

DIRECTIONS:

1. Unwrap cream cheese and place in microwaveable bowl.  Heat in microwave for 1 minute to soften.
2. Add chopped onions. (Using frozen onions will result in a slightly milder onion taste.)
3. Add mayo and the shredded cheeses.
4. Mix well with a fork until all ingredients are blended.  Spoon the mixture into a baking dish or pie pan. Use the back of a spoon to spread it out evenly in the pan.
5. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes or until the top is browning and bubbly.
