This time of year, our calendars are filled with holiday parties, open houses and drop-ins.  And customary in the South, you never go to someone's house empty handed.  So when I need a quick hostess gift, or have an impromtu get-together at our house, I whip together this fast and yummy dip...thanks to my friend Joy who introduced it to me.  It is perfect with chips, crackers, toast points, pretzels, veggies... whatever you have on hand.  It's the kind of dip that everyone (even kids) love!  And can be reheated nicely.  When I take this as a gift, I put the dip in a bakeable holiday crock or bowl and leave the container - and recipe- as a gift for the hostess!  TQS Ruth

Hot Swiss Cheese Dip

2-8oz cream cheese blocks, softened

1 cup mayonnaise

2 cups shredded swiss cheese

minced onion, to taste (I do about 1 TBSP, or even leave it out)

minced bacon, to taste

1 cup crushed Ritz crackers

Mix all ingredients together and top with the crackers.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.  Enjoy!
