If you are a die hard fan of red bell peppers and u really want to whip out some quick dip to serve along with ur bread toast,veggies or meats, you should definitely give a try to this chunky bellpepper & cream cheese dip...Yes i prepared this dip by cooking the veggies in microwave oven for few minutes and prepared this chunky bellpepper dip by adding cream cheese, which tastes fantastic and delicious...We enjoyed having this chunky & cheesy dip with some toasted breads as starter for our sunday lunch and everyone at home enjoyed this colourful, flavourful dip...With simple ingredients, this dip is ready to serve within less than 15 minutes..I enjoyed making and am sending this fabulous dip to MEC-Dips & Spreads guest hosted by Superchef of Mirch Masala, event by Srivalli and to Sunday Snacks-Cheese guest hosted by Superchef and to RV & Sudeshna's Food for 7stages of Life-Healthy Fast Foods...
