My Most Popular Ground Beef Dip Best Italian Appetizer Recipes!

Sometimes you are looking for a good hearty, satisfying meat dip so I can’t wait for you to try my Meaty Italian Dip. I tested my ground beef dip recipe and then served this scrumptious Italian Meaty Dip (now in Too Hot in the Kitchen) at a party at my house. Well, everyone said this was the best of Italian appetizer recipes and asked for the recipe. Some people called later begging for the recipe for this ground beef dip with cream cheese.  The cream cheese gave it a rich, creamy taste. I immediately decided to include this easy, Italian dip recipe in my next cookbook which was Too Hot in the Kitchen. So, I am excited to include this meat dip on my healthy food blog for you to make whenever you want a really good meaty dip recipe.
