Kielbasa Dip

(Shared recipe submitted by Mary Ann Snyder.)

Mary Ann writes: "We are originally from western Pennsylvania, and during football season a group of about a dozen get together every Sunday to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers play ball. Everyone brings a dish - a lot of times the appetizers help out until the half time meal is served! We try to stay with ethnic foods since you cannot purchase ethnic cuisine in southwestern Indiana. I hope you enjoy the recipe!"

Ingredients

• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/3 cup 2% milk
• 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 8 ounces chopped cooked kielbasa or smoked sausage
• 1/2 cup onions, diced
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat cream cheese on high for 1 minute. Stir in sour cream, milk, mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce. Add the kielbasa or sausage, 1/4 cup of the onions and the Parmesan cheese. Microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining onions. Serve with crackers, corn chips or vegetables.

Notes: Microwave times may vary depending on wattage. Always start with less time, cooking longer as needed.
