I made this recipe and took it into work and it was a big hit. No one knew until the dip was gone what it was made with. No one guessed it was pumpkin! I've made this several times for family gatherings. We all love it served with corn chips or scoops. Give your favorite cracker a try with this dip.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 oz cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 c cooked or canned pumpkin
2 or 3 Tbsp taco seasoning mix (add to your taste)
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/3 c chopped dried beef or ground up pepperoni
1/3 c finely chopped green pepper
1/3 c finely chopped red pepper
1/4 c finely diced green onions
raw vegetables, crackers, or corn chips-favorite

Steps:

  • 1. In a mixing bowl , beat cream cheese, pumpkin, taco seasoning and garlic powder until smooth. Stir in beef, peppers, green onion and olives. Olives are opt., some people don't care for them. Cover and refridgerate until ready to use. Serve with crackers, vegetables or my favorite corn chips & scoops.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of pumpkin: Sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins are best for this dip, as they have a smooth, sweet flavor. Avoid using large, carving pumpkins, as they are too watery and bland.
  • Roast the pumpkin until it is very tender: This will help to bring out the pumpkin's natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the pumpkin in the oven or on a sheet pan on the grill.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the pumpkin: This will help to create a smooth and creamy dip. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the pumpkin with a potato masher.
  • Add your favorite spices and seasonings: This is a great way to customize the dip to your own taste. Some popular spices and seasonings to add include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves.
  • Chill the dip before serving: This will help to allow the flavors to meld together and will make the dip more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Festive pumpkin dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree and can be customized to your own taste. Serve it with your favorite dippers, such as crackers, chips, or vegetables.
