South Dakota Wild Mushroom Dip

This tailgate favorite involves minimal prep work and packs a ton of melty goodness – all ready in time for kickoff. Three kinds of mushrooms – shiitake, oyster and portobello – bring an earthy flavor to the Monterey Jack cheese and McCormick® Brown Gravy Mix base. (Morel hunting is very popular in South Dakota!) Try it with onion rings, fries or crusty bread.

Step: 3

Spoon into 1-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
